Large energy mode locking of an erbium-doped fiber laser with atomic layer graphene 1 CommentDiscuss or comment on this article.
Source: Optics Express Category: Physics
Latest Comment by hanzhang - November 18, 2009: It is further confirmed that such unique absorption could become saturated when the input optical intensity is above a threshold value. This nonlinear optical behavior is termed saturable absorption and the threshold value is called the saturation fluency. Graphene can be saturated readily under strong excitation over the visible to near-infrared region, due to the universal optical absorption and zero band gap. This has relevance for the mode locking of fiber lasers, where wideband tuneability may be obtained using graphene as the saturable absorber. Due to this special property, graphene has wide application in ultrafast photonics.

Latest Comment by Frankie Dolan - September 26, 2009: Since I was always recommended to give my children a spoon of Calpol/Tylenol after their shots to keep any fever down as a result of their vaccines, I decided to instead start giving them the spoon of medicine about 45 minutes before the vaccine, thereby avoiding any fever in the first place and also reducing the pain felt at the time of the vaccine. Seemed like common sense to me and seemed to reduce any discomfort since they never cried when receiving injections after I started doing this (whereas they did before). Nice to read here that this approach is being recommended by professionals.

Latest Comment by Frankie Dolan - September 16, 2009: I researched this vaccine before deciding whether to allow my daughter to have it or not at her school. It seemed to me that when I did the calculations, there was a much greater risk of her suffering a serious reaction to the vaccine, than contracting HPV and then going on to develop cancer as a result of the virus 'within the time period that protection from the vaccine offered' (an important point that I think is overlooked when calculating how many lives will be saved compared to the risk of the vaccine). It is unclear as to the exact time for which the vaccine offers protection, but it is not guaranteed for more than ...

Latest Comment by gmrbtw - September 14, 2009: These are significant and very revealing findings about the erosive effects of many commonly digested drinks that incur more damage to teeth enamel than whitening agents which are perceived to have the potential to be very dangerous. Misapplication of these agents can definitely cause harm, but the so-called innocuous drinks can be just as problematic. Blane at home whitening

Latest Comment by Michelle D - September 7, 2009: Ok here's my take on this issue. Even though using cell phones increases the risk of cancer, or any health risk at all, the world is just not going to stop and drop all cell phones. Cell phones are vital amongst us, and will not be dismissed easily. The world's population would have been radically reduced if humans are so vulnerable to cancers and by using cell phones we get diseases. But that's not the case as of now, therefore it is still safe to use the cell phones. At least, when one gets the risk, other people also gets it. -Michelle Quickest Way to Lose Weight Fasting to Lose Weight

Latest Comment by Avie - September 6, 2009: I have a family member who has developed a tic in her upper-lip, which moves upward, briefly exposing her teeth, in a jerking motion. It occurs when she drinks a lot. She is unaware of it when it occurs, and gets very agitated and angry when asked about it. She is a high-functioning alcoholic, the daughter of a deceased alcoholic father. I have searched thru the internet and can find no connections to alcoholism and this tic. This article is the closest I have found. Several of us in the family are very worried that this might be a symptom of something more serious. I would say she is OCD, with a compulsion toward...

Latest Comment by Frankie Dolan - September 3, 2009: Like it or not, patients will look increasingly to the Internet for information on their own conditions. Better to get used to the idea and move with the times than resist change like a stick in the mud. Don't like it? Get over it and work out how you are going to deal with, and work with, the changing times. Doctors have to get comfortable with very well informed (as well as misinformed) patients, and learn to work with their patients, guiding them where appropriate. Gone are the days that you can dish out prescriptions that are accepted without question. Accept that everything you do will be questioned and verified, a...
