We report the first demonstration to our knowledge of 220-ps visible laser generation from passively Q-switched-laser pumped periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) in a single-pass, cascaded frequency-conversion process. The monolithic PPLN consists of a 1-cm section for frequency doubling the 1064-nm Nd:YAG pump laser to a 532-nm laser and a subsequent 4-cm section for generating the visibl...

conclusions the results showed remarkable rates of high-risk hpv types (16 and 18) in the studied population, which can be a serious alert for public health. this result highlights the potential impact of prophylactic vaccines for future protection against high-risk hpv types in iranian women. materials and methods this cross-sectional population-based study consisted of two groups of women: no...

Introduction: Transient cavitations induced by low frequency irradiation of ultrasound can be used to treat tumors. Previous studies in in-vitro experiments have shown that induced cavitation by dual or multiple frequencies of ultrasound is greater than induced cavitation by single frequency irradiation. In this study, we compared and evaluated the treatment effects of dual frequency irradiatio...

magnetotelluric (mt) method is an important passive surface geophysical method which uses the earth’s natural electromagnetic fields to investigate the electrical resistivity structure of the subsurface. the depth of investigation of mt is much higher than that of other electromagnetic (em) methods (vozoff, 1991). for a general conductivity distribution in the earth, the horizontal electric fie...
