We originally design a highly efficient NdYVO4/KGW Raman laser at 579.5 nm. The KGW crystal is specially coated to prevent the Stokes wave from propagating through the gain medium so as to minimize the cavity losses. Moreover, we explore a new output coupler with double-sided dichroic coating to exterminate the leakage power of the Stokes wave to lead to a remarkable improvement for the output efficiency. The maximum output power can be up to 10.5W at a pump power of 40W. The conversion efficiency of the diode pump light to yellow laser output can be increased to 26.3.

The location of controlled-grain Si island is determined by the pattern of “cooling holes”. The grain size is determined by the distance between “holes” due to lateral grain growth using pulse laser crystallization. This predictability allows the transistorscircuits to stay away from the grain boundaries for monolithic

In NSRRC, we set up a superradiant free electron laser in terahertz frequency range by employing an in-house developed laser-driven photocathode radio frequency electron gun system and a technology called radio frequency electron bunch compression.

In addition, we also designed an extreme ultraviolet free electron laser test facility that is based on similar technology. These light sources can be applied significantly to research fields such as semiconductors, quantum materials, and biomedicine.

Figure 1 shows the rollable and soft photonic meta-device.

Photonic_Workshop@CCMS.NTU has successfully developed a motorized micro-mapping system to explore and navigate samples. This system is able to acquire high resolution images to produce a sample map automatically. This map is also synchronized with the coordinates of motorized stages.

Constructing a functional connectome and its computational model is a crucial step toward understanding the mechanisms of brain functions. To achieve this goal, we developed two correlated technologies: (1) An all-optical physiology (AOP) that is capable of millisecond volumetric imaging and accurate stimulation in living animal brains. This system allows us to establish functional connectome and neural coding with a single-cell resolution. (2) A cellular-level spiking neural circuit simulation system that is capable of tuning itself based on the input data from the AOP system. We have demonstrated our technologies in the Drosophila late visual system and will apply them in the brains of larger species such as mice. Our technologies will greatly enhance knowledge of brain operation.
