Resumen

A short-pulse-width repetitively Q-switched 2.7-µm Er:Y2O3 ceramic laser is demonstrated using a specially designed mechanical switch, a metal plate carved with slits of both slit-width and duty-cycle optimized. With a 20% transmission output coupler, stable pulse trains with durations (full-width at half-maximum, FWHM) of 27?38 ns were generated with a repetition rate within the range of 0.26?4 kHz. The peak power at a 0.26 kHz repetition rate was ~3 kW.

This study explored the nitrate reduction by Al-Fe alloy. The nitrate conversions of fresh, 30-day and 90-day alloys were 78.1%, 42.8% and 9.5%, respectively. Water activation promoted the reducing ability of the alloy (98% nitrate removal), which was hi... ver más
