The rapid development of high-intensity laser-generated particle and photon secondary sources has attracted widespread interest during the last 20 years not only due to fundamental science research but also because of the important applications of this developing technology. For instance, the generation of relativistic particle beams, betatron-type coherent X-ray radiation and high harmonic generation have attracted interest from various fields of science and technology owing to their diverse applications in biomedical, material science, energy, space, and security applications. In the field of biomedical applications in particular, laser-driven particle beams as well as laser-driven X-ray sources are a promising field of study. This article looks at the research being performed at the Institute of Plasma Physics and Lasers (IPPL) of the Hellenic Mediterranean University Research Centre. The recent installation of the ZEUS 45 TW laser system developed at IPPL offers unique opportunities for research in laser-driven particle and X-ray sources. This article provides information about the facility and describes initial experiments performed for establishing the baseline platforms for secondary plasma sources.

采用稀土掺杂光纤(又称有源光纤)制成的光纤激光器和光纤放大器具有优异的光学性能,已被广泛应用于太空、核电设施及高能物理设施中。有源光纤对辐照十分敏感,当其处于上述辐照环境时易产生辐致损耗,导致光学性能迅速恶化,因此,提高有源光纤的抗辐照性能十分有必要。本文简要介绍了有源光纤在辐照环境下的应用背景以及面临的问题,并从有源光纤的辐照特性、影响辐照特性的因素和有源光纤抗辐照手段三个方面详细介绍了国内外抗辐照有源光纤的研究进展,最后对抗辐照有源光纤未来的研究趋势进行了展望。

光学相干层析成像(OCT)是一种具有高分辨率、非接触、非侵入的成像技术, 它通过测量生物组织的后向散射光的干涉信号, 对生物组织的内部结构进行层析成像。OCT技术作为一种诊断技术被广泛应用于医学领域, 特别是眼科图像诊断。由于频域OCT(FD-OCT)无需进行纵向扫描就可得到全部深度位置的特征信息, 因此成像速度比传统时域OCT(TD-OCT)快, 更适合于眼科应用。构建了一套基于光纤的频域光学相干层析成像系统, 纵向分辨率达到了10 μm, 扫描速度达到了每秒24000次以上。通过调节系统可对眼底视网膜
