    Summary

    We developed a fiber laser that can switch between six different light modes. This technology enables independent lasing and control of various transverse modes for advanced optical applications.

    What is a Mode?01:07

    What is a Mode?

    The mode is one of the commonly used measures of a central tendency. It is defined as the most frequent value in a data set.
    There can be more than one mode in a data set if multiple values have the same highest frequency. For instance, suppose that the Statistics exam scores of 20 students are: 50; 53; 59; 59; 63; 63; 72; 72; 72; 72; 72; 76; 78; 81; 83; 84; 84; 84; 90; 93. Here, the mode is 72, as it occurs most frequently, five times.
    A data set with two modes is called bimodal. For example,...

    Speed of a Transverse Wave01:13

    Speed of a Transverse Wave

    The speed of a wave depends on the characteristics of the medium. For example, in the case of a guitar, the strings vibrate to produce the sound. The speed of the waves on the strings and the wavelength determine the frequency of the sound produced. The strings on a guitar have different thicknesses but may be made of similar material. They have different linear densities, and the linear density is defined as the mass per length.
    One of the key properties of any wave is the wave speed. Light...

    Deformations in a Transverse Cross Section01:21

    Deformations in a Transverse Cross Section

    When a material is subjected to uniaxial stress, it elongates or contracts in the direction of the applied force, and also undergoes changes in the perpendicular directions. This behavior is crucial for understanding how materials behave under stress and is governed by mechanical properties such as Poisson's ratio v, which measures the ratio of transverse strain to axial strain.
    As the material stretches, it expands or contracts in orthogonal directions to the load. This phenomenon varies...

    Ventilatory Modes01:14

    Ventilatory Modes

    Mechanical ventilators are life-saving devices that support or replace spontaneous breathing. They deliver breaths to patients through varying methods known as ventilator modes. Understanding these modes is critical for healthcare providers managing patients with respiratory failure.
    There are three ventilatory modes: full support, partial support, and spontaneous. These are described below.
    Full Support Modes
    Full support modes include controlled mechanical ventilation, continuous mandatory...

    Classification of Skeletal Muscle Fibers01:48

    Classification of Skeletal Muscle Fibers

    Skeletal muscles continuously produce ATP to provide the energy that enables muscle contractions. Skeletal muscle fibers can be categorized into three types based on differences in their contraction speed and how they produce ATP, as well as physical differences related to these factors. Most human muscles contain all three muscle fiber types, albeit in varying proportions.
    Slow-Twitch Muscle Fibers
    Slow oxidative, muscle fibers appear red due to large numbers of capillaries and high levels of...

    Deformation of a Beam under Transverse Loading01:15

    Deformation of a Beam under Transverse Loading

    Understanding beam deflection, particularly for indeterminate beams with overhanging segments and multiple concentrated loads, is crucial for ensuring structural integrity and functionality. The process begins with constructing an accurate free-body diagram, which helps identify the forces and moments acting on the beam. This diagram is vital for visualizing how bending moments vary along the beam's length, influencing its curvature.
    The insights from the bending moment diagram extend to...
