Direct ultrafast parametric amplification pumped by a picosecond thin-disk laser

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Jing Wang, Peng Yuan, Dongfang Zhang, Guoqiang Xie, Kainan Xiong | Summary: Optical quadratic nonlinearity is ultrafast in nature, while parametric interaction usually manifests only the broadband characteristic. Enormous progress has been made toward broadband phase-matching for parametric amplification and wide applications. In existing devices of broadband […]

Synaptic vesicle proteins and ATG9A self-organize in distinct vesicle phases within synapsin condensates

Kavli Affiliate: Pietro DeCamilli | Authors: Daehun Park, Yumei Wu, Aaron Baublis and Pietro De Camilli | Summary: Ectopic expression in fibroblasts of synapsin 1 and synaptophysin is sufficient to generate condensates of vesicles highly reminiscent of synaptic vesicle (SV) clusters and with liquid-like properties. We show that unlike synaptophysin, other major integral SV membrane […]
