The Laser Guide Star Facility (LGSF) system of the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) will generate up to 8 artificial laser guide stars in the mesospheric sodium layer with the brightness, beam quality, and asterism geometries as required by both the TMT first light AO system and future AO instruments. It includes the sodium lasers mounted on the telescope elevation structure below the primary mirror, the conventional beam transfer optics system to transport the beams up to the telescope top end, and the formatting and launching optics to project the required laser guide star asterism to the sky using a center launch telescope located behind the secondary mirror. In this paper, we will present the recent successful completion of the LGSF preliminary design, including: the optical, mechanical, electronics, safety, control, and software designs;the systemsengineering;the modeling activities;and the next steps for the system's final design phase including prototyping.

This study presents an approach for structural health monitoring (SHM) of remote and hazardous structures using unpiloted aerial vehicles (UAVs). The method focuses on overcoming the challenges associated with traditional sensor deployment techniques, which are often costly and risky due to the decaying nature of the targeted structures. Utilizing a multi-rotor UAV platform, a streaming camera is integrated into a recovery cone to aid in visual alignment during deployment and retrieval providing a safe and cost-effective means of sensor delivery. The paper covers the design of a video-broadcasting deployment system with integrated electropermanent magnets (EPMs), housed in a 3D-printed recovery cone, supplemented by redundancy measures to enhance safety and reliability. This proposed system significantly improves the user's spatial awareness and aids in precise sensor package alignment, facilitated by multiple camera views providing a dual purpose of conducting visual inspection in addition to aiding in sensor delivery. The experimental analysis presented in this study validates the system's effectiveness, demonstrating the utility of camera-aided sensor delivery for rapid SHM applications. Navigation challenges due to proximity to metal structures and the difficulties associated with signal strength and reflections are also reported. The contribution of this work is a methodology for aerial sensor deployment and retrieval using a lightweight 3D-printed recovery cone with integrated cameras for navigation and sensor alignment.

This work focuses on the use of Nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (CQDs) from pinewood sawdust loaded in cellulose acetate (CA) membranes produced by electrospinning. These membranes were tested for the removal of two organic dyes, methylene blue (MB) and methylene violet (MV), from water effluents. The adsorption capacity of electrospun adsorbent significantly improved due to the presence of a low concentration of CDQs (1% w/w). In comparison with CA electrospun membranes without CQDs, the loaded membranes showed an improvement of the adsorption capacity equal to 160% in the case of MB and 300% in the case of MV. Therefore, the presence of CQDs from sawdust noticeably enhanced the adsorption of cationic dyes onto polymeric membranes. The designed systems exploit the adsorption features ofmicrometric-sized fibrous mats to remove organic pollutants from industrial textile wastewater effectively. It is worth mentioning that composite adsorbent systems can be efficiently applied to real industrial cases because of the possibility of reusing them and opening the route to the fabrication of novel and highly performant adsorbents.

The emerging technology of power-by-light enables power and data delivery over a single free space optical (FSO) link for electrically isolated, interference-free remote operation. Telecom wavelength bands (lambda approximate to 1550 nm) are well known for applications in data communication over optical fiber and overlap atmospheric transparency windows, extending the reach of FSO power and data systems through the air. This creates the opportunity to directionally deliver significant power (above 1mW) and high speed data wirelessly over long distances. FSO channels can experience turbulence and weather conditions that affect data and power transmission. Hence they should be modeled and verified against measurements under varied atmospheric conditions. This will help improve model precision and robustness in predicting FSO channel performance. Accurate modeling of data transmission in FSO channels is urgently required to support the design of wireless optical communication systems for remote areas to which fiber deployment is difficult or uneconomic and instead long range data communications between ground stations and high-altitude platform systems (HAPS) may be employed. We have modelled an FSO channel transmitting data and power at 1550 and 1520 nm respectively under various meteorological conditions. The system model was developed in the commercially available OptiSystem software for modeling signals transmission. Different weather conditions translate directly to different FSO channel signal attenuations, impacting both data and power transmission. We also explore the impact of different modulation schemes such as Quadratic Amplitude Modulation (QAM), Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM), and Quadratic Phase Shift Keying(QPSK) on the bit error rate of the transmitted data thereby achieving the optimal required hardware design parameters. We found that QPSK is predicted to have the longest viable FSO range across all weather conditions and that power cannot be trans
