With ever increasing world population, the demands on food safety and security are also
expected to substantially increase over the next few decades. As agronomic practices …

Sub-optimal storage of grains could deteriorate seed germination and plant viability. Recent
research studies have established that laser biostimulation of seeds could be used as a safe …

A low-threshold continuous wave dual-wavelength mid-infrared laser is demonstrated by
using an intracavity optical parametric oscillator (OPO) with a dual-wavelength pump wave …

Bright yellow upconversion emission spectra at 595 nm were investigated in Nd 3+ ions
doped gadolinium orthovanadate (GdVO 4) single crystals. 556-fold enhancement of the …

An orthogonally polarized dual-wavelength laser with high power-stability and wide power-
ratio tunability, based on the combined Tm, Ho: LuLiF 4 and Tm, Ho: YLiF 4 dual crystals …

The compact dual-crystal orthogonally polarized Tm, Ho: YLF laser with balanced
orthogonal polarization output power was reported for the first time, to the best of our …

We studied the two-color lasing performance of a Cr: LiCAF laser using crystal quartz on-
surface and off-surface optical axis birefringent filters (BRFs). Four different on-surface …

A simple approach to estimate the values of thermal lensing in diode end-pumped Nd: YVO
4 and Nd: GdVO 4 crystals for any experimental conditions is presented. It is based on the …

A detailed modeling of thermal lensing in a microchip Nd: YAG laser is presented. A range of
different pump spot sizes as well as pump power levels was explored to determine their …

A passively Q-switched dual-wavelength laser with tunable power ratio and pulse interval is
demonstrated based on the coaxial diode end-pumping configuration by varying the pump …
