This paper provides an overview of mid-infrared lasers based on rare-earth-ion-doped selenide glasses. Laser action was demonstrated at the transitions between the first excited and the ground levels of Ce3+, Pr3+, Nd3+ and Tb3+ ions. The highest output parameters for bulk glass lasers (over 40 mJ of output energy) and wavelength tuning in the range of 4.6–5.6 microns were obtained with Ce3+-doped glass. The highest output parameters for fiber lasers (150 mW at 5.1–5.3 μm under continuous pumping) were demonstrated with Tb3+ ions. The longest lasing wavelengths for any glass laser and tunabili

The main aim of this study measures pavement characteristics using an RGB-D sensor. By recording the depth and color images simultaneously, the sensor benefits the data fusion. By mounting the sensor on a moving cart, and fixing the vertical distance from the ground, data were collected along 100 m of the asphalt pavement using MATLAB. At each stop point, multiple frames were collected, the central region of interests was store

Abstract. Continuous water vapor and temperature profiles are critically needed for improved understanding of the lower atmosphere and potential advances in weather forecasting skill. Ground-based, national-scale profiling networks are part of a suite of instruments to provide such observations; however, the technological method must be cost-effective and quantitative. We have been developing an active remote sensing technology based on a diode-laser-based lidar technology to address this observational need.

Abstract:
We propose the use of an n-doped periodic AlN/GaN quantum cascade structure for the optical up-conversion of multiple near-infrared (near-IR) photons into deep-ultraviolet (deep-UV) radiation. Without applying an external bias voltage, the active region of such a device will (similar to an un-biased quantum cascade laser) resemble a sawtooth-shaped inter-subband structure. A carefully adjusted bias voltage then converts this sawtooth pattern into a ‘quantum-stair’. Illumination with λ = 1.55 µm radiation results in photon absorption thereby lifting electrons from the ground state of each main

Abstract. Aerosols emitted from wildfires are becoming one of the main sources of poor air quality on the US mainland. Their extinction in UVB (the wavelength range from 280 to 315 nm) is difficult to retrieve using simple lidar techniques because of the impact of ozone (O3) absorption and the lack of information about the lidar ratios at those wavelengths. Improving the characterization of lidar ratios at the abovementioned wavelengths will enable aerosol monitoring with different instruments and will also permit the correction of the aerosol impact on O3 lidar data.

Abstract:
When theoretically investigating the nonlinear dynamics of quantum dot lasers (QDLs), the parameter value of the electron escape rate (Ce) is sometimes approximated to zero to simplify the calculation. However, the value of Ce is dependent on the energy interval between the ground state (GS) and the excited state (ES) in the conduction band and is affected by the operation temperature. As a result, such simplified approximation treatments may lead to inaccurate results. In this study, after considering the effect of Ce, we investigate the nonlinear dynamics of QDLs with and without optical fee
