Fiber design for high-power low-cost Yb:Al-doped fiber laser operating at 980nm
We investigated an Yb:Al-doped depressed-clad hollow optical fiber (DCHOF) for cladding-pumped 980nm laser operation. With a careful design, the nonzero fundamental-mode cutoff characteristics of a DCHOF allows the competing 1030-1060nm emission to be filtered out, despite being quite close to 980nm. The laser yielded over 3W of output power in a diffraction limited beam (M -parameter degrades to 2.7, as a result of increased cladding-mode lasing, as the cladding thickness is reduced

Adaptive PDE Observer for Battery SOC/SOH Estimation
This paper develops an adaptive PDE observer for battery state-of-charge (SOC) and state-of-health (SOH) estimation. Real-time state and parameter information enables operation near physical limits without compromising durability, thereby unlock-ing the full potential of battery energy storage. SOC/SOH esti-mation is technically challenging because battery dynamics are governed by electrochemical principles, mathematically modeled by partial differential equations (PDEs). Simultaneous state and parameter estimation is extremely challenging in PDE models. Consequently, several new theoretical ideas are developed, inte-grated together, and tested. These include a backstepping PDE state estimator, a Padé-based parameter identifier, nonlinear pa-rameter sensitivity analysis, and adaptive inversion of nonlinear output functions. The end result is the first combined SOC/SOH battery estimation algorithm that identifies physical system vari-ables via an electrochemical model, from measurements of voltage and current only.
