Materials with relatively small refractive indices (n< 2), such as glass, quartz, polymers,
some ceramics, etc., are the basic materials in most optical components (lenses, optical …

This work presents a survey on the recent progress in laser ablation of a solid target in a
confining liquid for the synthesis of nanocrystals with focus on the mechanism of nanocrystal …

Understanding laser interaction with metal powder beds is critical in predicting optimum
processing regimes in laser powder-bed fusion (PBF) additive manufacturing (AM) of metals …

The diffraction limit is a fundamental barrier in optical science and engineering. It limits the
minimum feature size in surface patterning technologies, such as lithography and laser …

The interaction of ultra-fast sub-picosecond laser pulses with solids is a very broad area of
research. The boundaries for research fields covered by this review are defined as follows. A …

The field lines of Poynting vector around a small particle are investigated on the basis of
classical Mie theory. A particle can effectively absorb incident energy near the optical …

With the invention of the laser came a new form of industrial energy, optical energy,
available for the first time in large and controllable quantities. This article reviews the …

When light propagates through the edge or middle part of a microparticle's incoming
interface, there is a basic rule that light converges and diverges rapidly or slowly at the …

Nanostructured surfaces and devices offer astounding possibilities for biomedical research,
including cellular and molecular biology, diagnostics, and therapeutics. However, the wide …

In this work, a robot-assisted laser cleaning system is presented that allows the automatic
processing of 3D objects with arbitrary geometry. The system is based on the integration of a …
