We describe a stable, compact, femtosecond laser system based on Yb-doped gain media. Capable of delivering sub-300 fs pulses with mJ energy, the system is an attractive alternative to traditional Ti:sapphire systems.

Fluorescent-core microcavity sensors employ a high-index quantum-dot coating in the channel of silica microcapillaries. Changes in the refractive index of fluids pumped into the capillary channel cause shifts in the microcavity fluorescence spectrum that can be used to analyze the channel medium.
