High-efficiency 2 μm Tm:YAP laser with a compact mechanical Q-switch
Abstract:
We describe a compact, highly efficient, diode-pumped, mechanically Q-switched Tm:YAP laser operating near 2 μm. The Q-switch, based on a torsion spring resonant mirror scanner, had negligible optical loss and required very low electrical drive power. At a 10 kHz pulse repetition frequency, the laser generated an average output power of 10.5 W at 1.94 μm, Q-switched pulse energy of 1.05 mJ, a pulse length of 31 ns, and a peak power of 34 kW. The Q-switched laser exhibited maximum optical and electrical efficiencies of 51% and 26%, respectively.

SN2 Reaction: Mechanism
The presence of the more electronegative halogen in the substrate creates a polarized carbon-halide bond. The halide pulls the electron cloud generating an electrophilic center at the carbon atom. Thus, the carbon atom carries a partial positive charge while the halide has a...

Compact Bone
Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...
