🌕💡 Phonon-coupled Nd:YAG lasers for filling the “yellow gap”

A research team from the State Key Laboratory of Crystal Materials, Shandong University has demonstrated continuous-wave yellow laser generation in commercial Nd:YAG crystals through a thermally driven phonon-coupling strategy. The study was published in .

Yellow lasers in the 570–590 nm range are important for biomedical diagnostics, astronomy, precision instruments, and fluorescence excitation, but efficient all-solid-state sources have long been difficult to realize.

In this work, the authors used electron–phonon coupling in Nd³⁺-doped garnet crystals to extend laser emission into the yellow spectral region. The system achieved continuous-wave yellow laser output at 575.5–583 nm, with a maximum power of 75 mW at 583 nm.

The 583 nm laser also showed strong performance in fluorescence excitation, enhancing Alexa Fluor 594 emission by about 100 times compared with a xenon lamp and about 6 times compared with a 559 nm laser.

This work offers a simple route toward compact yellow laser sources for flow cytometry, molecular labeling, and biomedical analysis.

🌞💡 Sunlight-driven SPDC for correlated photon-pair generation

A research team from Xiamen University has demonstrated that incoherent sunlight can be used as a pump source for spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC), enabling the generation of correlated photon pairs without a coherent laser. The study was published in .

SPDC is a nonlinear optical process in which a high-energy photon is converted into a pair of lower-energy correlated photons in a nonlinear crystal, typically driven by coherent laser sources. In this work, the authors investigate whether such a process can be realized using sunlight, which is inherently incoherent and temporally unstable.

To enable stable operation under solar illumination, a Sun-tracking system was employed to continuously collect incident sunlight. The collected light was coupled into a multimode fiber and directed to a periodically poled potassium titanyl phosphate (PPKTP) crystal to drive the SPDC process.

Experimental results confirm the generation of correlated photon pairs under solar pumping, demonstrating that high coherence is not strictly required, although system performance is strongly influenced by collection efficiency and pump fluctuations.

This work provides a potential pathway toward laser-free and power-independent quantum light sources, with possible applications in space-based quantum technologies and resource-limited environments. It also offers a platform for studying the role of optical coherence in nonlinear quantum processes.

⚡ Attosecond-resolved photoionization reveals ultrafast chiral electron dynamics

A research team from Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Shanghai Jiao Tong University has proposed a new scheme for measuring and controlling attosecond dynamics in chiral molecular photoionization, with the results published in Advanced Photonics.

Photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD) is a powerful technique for probing molecular chirality, but conventional PECD mainly provides amplitude information of photoelectron wave packets. The phase information, which carries sensitive signatures of ultrafast chiral dynamics, remains challenging to access.

To address this challenge, the researchers proposed a two-photon interference scheme based on circularly polarized extreme-ultraviolet attosecond pulse trains and an infrared field. The approach enables attosecond-resolved measurement of chiral photoionization dynamics and significantly enhances PECD signals through interference between two-photon ionization pathways.

The study reveals attosecond-scale time-delay differences between forward- and backward-emitted photoelectrons in chiral molecules, with stronger effects observed under counter-rotating circularly polarized fields.

This work provides a new route for coherently probing and manipulating chiral light–matter interactions on the attosecond timescale.
