Effect of Auger recombination on transient optical properties in XUV and soft X-ray irradiated silicon nitride by Victor Tkachenko, Vladimir Lipp, Martin Büscher, Flavio Capotondi, Hauke Höppner, Nikita Medvedev, Emanuele Pedersoli, Mark J. Prandolini, Giulio M. Rossi, Franz Tavella, Sven Toleikis, Matthew Windeler, Beata Ziaja, Ulrich Teubner

“…This, in an ideal case, would imply a similar resolution for the temporal pulse properties and the arrival time jitter between the FEL and optical laser pulses. However, carrier transport within the material and out of its surface, as well as carrier recombination may, in addition, significantly decrease the number of carriers. …”

Method for developing a sub-10 fs ultrafast electron diffraction technology by Hyun Woo Kim, In Hyung Baek, Junho Shin, Sunjeong Park, Hyeon Sang Bark, Key Young Oang, Kyu-Ha Jang, Kitae Lee, Nikolay Vinokurov, Young Uk Jeong

“…Furthermore, a gas-filled hollow core fiber compressor and a Ti:sapphire amplifier are used to implement pump laser pulses of less than 5 fs (rms). Thus, we could present the full simulation results of a sub-10 fs UED, and we believe that it will be one of the technical prototypes to challenge the sub-fs time resolution.…”

XUV Fluorescence Detection of Laser-Cooled Stored Relativistic Ions by Ken Ueberholz, Lars Bozyk, Michael Bussmann, Noah Eizenhöfer, Volker Hannen, Max Horst, Daniel Kiefer, Nils Kiefer, Sebastian Klammes, Thomas Kühl, Benedikt Langfeld, Markus Loeser, Xinwen Ma, Wilfried Nörtershäuser, Rodolfo Sánchez, Ulrich Schramm, Mathias Siebold, Peter Spiller, Markus Steck, Thomas Stöhlker, Thomas Walther, Hanbing Wang, Christian Weinheimer, Weiqiang Wen, Danyal Winters

“…It was shown that the detected fluorescence strongly depends on the position of the detector around the bunched ion beam and on the delay (∼ns) between the ion bunches and the laser pulses. In addition, the fluorescence information could be directly combined with the revolution frequencies of the ions (and their longitudinal momentum spread), which were recorded using the Schottky resonator at the ESR. …”

Original Research. Photoacoustic Microscopy in Dental Medicine by Stan Adrian Tudor, Idorași Laura, Stan Victor Florin, Rogobete Alexandru Florin, Sinescu Cosmin, Negruțiu Meda Lavinia, Romînu Mihai

“…Introduction: Photoacoustic microscopy, also known as optoacoustic imaging, is a comparatively new method of investigation in dental medicine, which uses a laser-generated ultrasound (short laser pulses) to achieve images for interpretation. Photoacoustic microscopy can be used in a broad spectrum, from detecting tooth decay at its earliest stages to dental anatomy analysis. …”

Pressure-induced phase transformations during femtosecond-laser doping of silicon by Smith, Matthew J., Lin, Yu-Ting, Sher, Meng-Ju, Winkler, Mark T., Mazur, Eric, Gradecak, Silvija

“…The surface texturing that occurs during femtosecond-laser irradiation produces inhomogeneous pressure distributions across the surface and causes delayed development of high-pressure silicon polymorphs over many laser pulses. Finally, we find that the polymorph phases disappear during annealing more rapidly than the sub-bandgap absorptance decreases, enabling us to decouple these two processes through post-treatment annealing.…”
