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 />

O. Scully 5,6 ; 1 Univ. of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, USA;<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 />
