Estimating the Poynting Flux of Alfvénic Waves in Polar Coronal Holes across Solar Cycle 24 by R. J. Morton, M. J. Weberg, N. Balodhi, J. A. McLaughlin

“…We use imaging data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory's Atmospheric Imaging Assembly to measure the displacements of the fine-scale structure present in coronal holes. It is found that the measure for vertical Poynting flux is broadly similar over the solar cycle, implying a consistent contribution from waves to the energy budget of the solar wind. …”

X-photon 3D lithography by fs-oscillators: wavelength-independent and photoinitiator-free by Dimitra Ladika, Antanas Butkus, Vasileia Melissinaki, Edvinas Skliutas, Elmina Kabouraki, Saulius Juodkazis, Maria Farsari, Mangirdas Malinauskas

“…Wavelengths of 517 nm, 780 nm, and 1035 nm are shown to be suitable for producing 300 nm polymerized features even at high – up to 105 µm/s– writing speeds. Variation of organic-inorganic ratio in hybrid material results in shift and decrease of the dynamic fabrication window, yet not prohibiting the photo-structuring. …”
