International Classification:

H01S 3/0941

US Classification:

372 75

Abstract:

An extreme ultraviolet/soft x-ray laser driven by a compact solid-state chirped pulse amplification laser system entirely pumped by laser diodes is described. The solid-state pump laser generates compressed pulses of sub-10 ps duration with energy greater than 1 J at a chosen repetition rate in a cryogenically cooled Yb:YAG system. Lasing in the 18.9 nm line of Ni-like Mo was observed. The diode-pumped laser has the potential to greatly increase the repetition rate and average power of lasers having a variety of EUV/SXR wavelengths on a significantly smaller footprint.

International Classification:

H01S 3/03

US Classification:

372 61, 250504

Abstract:

A pre-ionized medium created by a capillary discharge results in more efficient use of laser energy in high-order harmonic generation (HHG) from ions. It extends the cutoff photon energy, and reduces the distortion of the laser pulse as it propagates down the waveguide. The observed enhancements result from a combination of reduced ionization energy loss and reduced ionization-induced defocusing of the driving laser as well as waveguiding of the driving laser pulse. The discharge plasma also provides a means to spectrally tune the harmonics by tailoring the initial level of ionization of the medium.

Abstract:

The invention is directed to a hypoadrenocorticism diagnostic tool including a computer device for executing a trained machine learning algorithm to analyze bloodwork parameters and determine a hypoadrenocorticism diagnosis based on the bloodwork parameters. The bloodwork parameters may include complete blood count and serum chemistry parameters. The computer device receives the bloodwork parameters associated with a patient and analyzes the bloodwork parameters using the trained machine learning algorithm. The computer device determines the hypoadrenocorticism diagnosis indicating whether the patient is positive or negative for hypoadrenocorticism using the trained machine learning algorithm, and displays the hypoadrenocorticism diagnosis on a graphical user interface.
