Q-switched erbium-doped fibre laser based on molybdenum disulfide and tungsten disulfide as saturable absorbers
A passively Q-switched erbium-doped fibre laser is experimentally
implemented, using molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and tungsten disulfide (WS2) as
saturable absorbers. The results testify that a WS2-based Q-switched fibre laser
generates more stable pulse trains, if compared with the MoS2-based saturable
absorber. The wavelength region where the Q-switched pulses have been obtained is
a so-called C-band region.The central wavelengths are 1559 and 1560 nm for MoS2
and WS2, respectively
Thigh-length compression stockings and DVT after stroke
Controversy exists as to whether neoadjuvant chemotherapy improves survival in patients with invasive bladder cancer, despite randomised controlled trials of more than 3000 patients. We undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the effect of such treatment on survival in patients with this disease
