Metarhizium anisopliae as an essential entomopathogenic fungus has been known to produce destruxins (a kind of cyclo-peptidic mycotoxins) and blastospores in submerged culture. Blastospores and destruxins are candidates for insecticides, but the relations of both productions and the impact factors a...

We design and investigate the optical properties of a novel hollow-core antiresonant fiber with nested elliptical cladding elements. This new structure shows low confinement loss even with a relatively small core. The lowest confinement loss of this structure is more than two orders of magnitude sma...

We report a multicore photonic crystal fiber (PCF) amplification system delivering about 110-W laser pulses with a duration of sub-100 fs. This amplifier is seeded by a large mode area (LMA) PCF mode-locked oscillator with a repetition rate of 100 MHz. By a one-stage nonlinear amplification, the pul...
