2.7 μm dual-wavelength laser performance of LD end-pumped Er:YAP crystal
Abstract:
We demonstrate a laser diode (LD) end-pumped Er:YAP laser with dual-wavelength outputs of 2710 and 2728 nm. The maximum average powers of 739 and 738 mW are achieved in the continuous wave (CW) and pulse modes, which corresponds to optical-to-optical efficiencies of 10.1% and 12.3%, and the slope efficiencies of 12.1% and 13.8%, respectively. In addition, a comparison of laser performance on differently sized crystals indicates that the 1 × 1 × 5 mm3 Er:YAP crystal has a best cooling efficiency. This helps to decrease the thermal lensing effect, which contributes to improving laser efficiency and beam quality.

ATP Driven Pumps II: P-type Pumps
A typical P-type pump has three cytosolic domains: nucleotide-binding (N), phosphorylation (P), and activator (A) domains. These domains are connected to the membrane-spanning helices by short amino acid segments. ATP hydrolysis and covalent phosphoenzyme intermediate formation are crucial parts of the catalytic cycle. At the highly...
Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...

Pumped Concrete
For direct-acting pumps, the concrete enters the pump via the inlet valve under the action of gravity and suction created by the movement of the piston. This concrete is then forced into the pipeline and out through the outlet valve by the forward movement...
