The additive manufacturing (AM) process plays an important role in enabling cross-disciplinary research in engineering and personalised medicine. Commercially available clinical tools currently utilised in radiotherapy are typically based on traditional manufacturing processes, often leading to non-conformal geometries, time-consuming manufacturing process and high costs. An emerging application explores the design and development of patient-specific clinical tools using AM to optimise treatment outcomes among cancer patients receiving radiation therapy. In this review, we: 1)? highlight the key advantages of AM in radiotherapy where rapid prototyping allows for patient-specific manufacture 2) explore common clinical workflows involving radiotherapy tools such as bolus, compensators, anthropomorphic phantoms, immobilisers, and brachytherapy moulds; 3) investigate how current AM processes are exploited by researchers to achieve patient tissuelike imaging and dose attenuations. Finally, significant AM research opportunities in this space are highlighted for their future advancements in radiotherapy for diagnostic and clinical research applications.

铅盐二极管激光器的工作原理基本上与以III-V族为半导体基础（GaAs, GaAlAs, GaInAsP)的常见二极管激光器相似。在铅或者类似铅的硫化物制成的二极管激光器中，激光器的发射频率在红外区300~3000 cm-1之间,视化合物的成分而定(图1)。 这个光谱范围尤其适用于气体分析，因为掺杂原子分子的大部分转动-振动跃迁是在这里发生的。
Scanning Dammann lithography (SDL) is proposed and implemented, which uses a Dammann grating to generate multiple beams with sharp step boundary for writing large-sized gratings efficiently. One of the most attractive advantages is that this technique can

利用飞秒抽运探测透射技术，研究了室温下 CdSeS半导体量子点激发态载流子的弛豫过程与抽运光能量密度和光子能量的关系。实验结果表明，CdSeS量子点激发态载流子的弛豫有3个过程：1) 约为10 ps的一个快速弛豫过程，此过程随着抽运光能量密度的不断增加而逐渐变慢，与光子能量没有明显的依赖关系，认为此过程是由载流子和光学声子的散射引起的；2) 约为100 ps的一个弛豫过程，此过程与抽运光能量密度及光子能量都没有明显的依赖关系，认为此过程是光激发载流子被缺陷态捕获而形成的限域载流子的弛豫过程；3) 一个纳秒
光学表面加工的传统方法是用一个简单工具在尺寸大致相同的工件上转动和移动。工具与工件之间磨浆粒子的研磨作用使工具表面变成球形。假如用户要求与球形稍有偏差的形状，则需要通过改变工具的尺寸和行程特性来达到。遗憾的是，这种方法不能加工偏离球形较大的工件，也不能加工加载下显著变形的工件。在此情况下，光学元件制造商常常使用比工件小得多的工具，并把这些工具置于计算机控制之下，以提高研磨和拋光效率。在此种方法中，微机调节工件表面上工具的运动，同时根据最佳材料去除公式改变研磨或抛光任何一个部位的研磨时间量。
