Abstract: Disclosed in the present invention are a hot-stamped component having high cold-bending performance and high strength, and a manufacturing method therefor. The method comprises: (1) manufacturing a steel plate for hot stamping; (2) preprocessing a component; (3) heat treatment, transfer and stamping of the component: placing a semi-finished product of the component into a heat treatment furnace, controlling a heat treatment temperature to be 750° C.-960° C., and controlling the total time of heat treatment to be 1.5-10 min and the time for the heat treatment temperature above 880° C. not to be less than 1.2 min; transferring the heat-treated semi-finished product into a mold for mold-closed stamping, and the temperature of the semi-finished product when leaving the heat treatment furnace not being lower than 900° C.; when the thickness of the steel plate forming the component is less than or equal to 1.

Abstract: Provided herein are devices for utilizing vibrational strong coupling (VSC) in a chemical reaction comprising a reaction chamber defined in a housing, at least one inlet for introducing one or more reactants into the reaction chamber, at least one outlet for removing one or more reactants and/or one or more reaction products form the reaction chamber, and a window defined on opposed first and second sides of the housing and comprising a material which does not strongly absorb infrared radiation and arranged such that infrared radiation directed from a source outside of the housing can enter into the reaction chamber. Also provided are methods of modifying chemical reactions as well as catalyzing chemical reactions.

Abstract: Optical gain media and gain devices are required for lasing devices and high intensity optical systems across a wide range of application. A compact optical gain device that provides near-infrared and infrared lasing at room temperature includes an optical microcavity having a refractive index and a curvilinear outer surface with an angle of curvature such that the optical microcavity supports the propagation of an electromagnetic whispering gallery mode. A plurality of optical gain structures are disposed along the curvilinear outer surface of the optical microcavity, the each of the optical gain structures having an optically active wavelength range over which each of the corresponding optical gain structures provides optical gain to radiation through stimulated emission.
