Fast photoacoustic imaging systems using pulsed laser diodes: a review by Upputuri, Paul Kumar, Pramanik, Manojit

“…Such lasers are expensive, bulky, and imaging speed is limited because of low pulse repetition rate. In recent years, the semiconductor laser technology has advanced to generate high-repetitions rate near-infrared pulsed lasers diodes (PLDs) which are reliable, less-expensive, hand-held, and light-weight, about 200 g. …”

Spin selective filtering of polariton condensate flow by Gao, T., Antón, C., Liew, Timothy Chi Hin, Martín, M. D., Hatzopoulos, Z., Viña, L., Eldridge, P. S., Savvidis, P. G.

“…Spin-selective spatial filtering of propagating polariton condensates, using a controllable spin-dependent gating barrier, in a one-dimensional semiconductor microcavity ridge waveguide is reported. A nonresonant laser beam provides the source of propagating polaritons, while a second circularly polarized weak beam imprints a spin dependent potential barrier, which gates the polariton flow and generates polariton spin currents. …”
