Recent Progress and Future Prospects in<br />
Quantum Cascade Lasers, Claire F. Gmachl,<br />
Princeton Univ., USA. The Quantum Cascade<br />
lasers’ strengths are their wavelength tailorability,<br />
high performance and fascinating design potential.<br />
We will discuss recent highlights, such as high<br />
efficiency and single-mode operation, artificially<br />
broadened gain, and novel unconventional laser<br />
schemes.<br />

Development of Transient Absorption Ultrasonic<br />
Microscopy, Ryan L. Shelton 1 , Brian E. Applegate<br />
1 ; 1 Biomedical Engineering, Texas A&M Univ.,<br />
USA. We have developed a novel hybrid imaging<br />
modality that integrates nonlinear absorption with<br />
photoacoustic detection to achieve high resolution<br />
absorption imaging. Basic principles and recent<br />
progress will be discussed.<br />

Vibrational Photoacoustic Microscopy for<br />
Depth-resolved Bond-selective Imaging of<br />
Tissues and Organisms, Han-Wei Wang 1 , Ning<br />
Chia 1 , Song Hu 2 , Wei Dou 1 , David Umulis 1 , Lihong<br />
V. Wang 2 , Michael Sturek 3,1 , Robert Lucht 1 , Ji-Xin<br />
Cheng 1 ; 1 Purdue Univ., USA; 2 Washington Univ.,<br />
St. Louis, USA; 3 Indiana Univ. School of Medicine,<br />
USA. We realize vibrational photoacoustic microscopy<br />
using molecular excitation of overtone<br />
vibration and acoustic detection of the resultant<br />
pressure transients and demonstrate label-free<br />
3-D imaging in atherosclerosis tissues and in<br />
living organisms.<br />

Experimental and Numerical Study of the<br />
Laser-Induced Printing of Liquid Materials,<br />
Matt Brown 1 , Craig B. Arnold 1 , Yiannis Ventikos 2 ;<br />
1<br />
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Princeton<br />
Univ., USA; 2 Department of Engineering Science,<br />
Univ. of Oxford, UK. We present a numerical<br />
and experimental study of laser-induced jetting<br />
behavior associated with direct-write printing of<br />
liquids using a polymer absorbing layer. We focus<br />
on the limits of minimum material transfer that<br />
can be achieved.<br />

Laser Metal Deposition of Steel Components<br />
using Machining Waste as Build Material, Khalid<br />
Mahmood 1 , Ashfaq Khan 1 , Andrew Pinkerton 1 ,<br />
1<br />
School of MACE, Univ. of Manchester, UK.. Gas<br />
atomised metal powders are generally used in laser<br />
cladding. However, costly new powders prompt<br />
the use of machining swarf as an alternative build<br />
material. This paper reports on this investigation<br />
and establishes its feasibility.<br />

Helically Propagating Modes in InGaAs Nanoneedle<br />
Lasers Grown on Poly-Silicon and Silicon<br />
Substrates, Thai-Truong Tran 1,2 , Roger Chen 2 , Kar<br />
Wei Ng 2 , Wai Son Ko 2 , Fanglu Lu 2 , Connie J. Chang-<br />
Hasnain 1,2 ; 1 Applied Science and Technology Group,<br />
Univ. of California, Berkeley, USA; 2 Department of<br />
Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, Univ.<br />
of California, Berkeley, USA. InGaAs nanoneedle<br />
lasers were grown on both, polycrystalline-Si and<br />
(100)-Si substrates by low temperature (400 °C)<br />
MOCVD. Measured near field mode patterns<br />
agree well with FDTD simulations, confirming<br />
helically propagating modes as lasing modes.<br />

Chemically-Specific Photoacoustic Imaging<br />
using Vibrational Raman Excitation, Vladislav<br />
Yakovlev 1 , Hao Zhang 2 , Georgi Petrov 1 , Gary<br />
Noojin 3 , Michael Denton 3 , Robert Thomas 4 , Marlan<br />

Northwestern Univ., USA; 3 Northrop Grumman,<br />
USA; 4 U.S. Air Force Research Lab, USA;<br />
5<br />
Texas A&M Univ., USA; 6 Princeton Univ., USA.<br />
We demonstrate, for the first time, molecular<br />
contrast imaging in deep tissue by successfully<br />
combining chemically-selective, stimulated<br />
Raman photoexcitation with high-frequency ultrasound<br />
detection.<br />

The Evanescent Interaction of an Ultrafast<br />
Laser Inscribed Optical Waveguide, Stephen J.<br />
Beecher 1 , Robert R. Thomson 1 , Ajoy K. Kar 1 ; 1 EPS,<br />
Heriot-Watt Univ., UK. Ultrafast laser inscription<br />
has been used to produce an optical waveguide<br />
evanescent field sensor. Fabricated in a single<br />
step and exhibiting an insertion loss of 2.6 dB, the<br />
device had a visibility of 3.7 dB.<br />
