The issue of mechanical resistance of optical fibers irradiated by UV laser sources has been recently reported. An important mechanical degradation as expressed by the decrease of median breaking strength and the widening of the Weibull distribution has be ...
We present the design of a highly efficient, pulsed ammonia laser which is optically pumped by a commercial TEA CO2 laser and is line tunable in the spectral range of 780-930 cm(-1). The power, spectral, and temporal characteristics of the laser have been ...
The Brillouin fibre laser has experimentally demonstrated its suitability for the measurement of laser linewidth in the 1 kHz to 500 kHz frequency range. A major advantage of this system is to be widely independent of the source wavelength by generating th ...
Periclase (MgO) has been studied up to 16 GPa and temperatures in excess of 3000 K by X-ray diffraction in an energy-dispersive configuration at the DCI storage ring of LURE (Laboratoire pour l'Utilisation du Royonnement Electromagnetique, Orsay, France). ...
The present work is part of a feasibility study to investigate the excimer laser photon-assisted thermal decompn. of anthracene at 248 nm. The principle is to combine UV photons of an appropriate light source and heat in an incinerating reactor at modest t ...
Fabrication and characterization of a current-injected InGaAs-GaAs quantum-wire gain-coupled distributed feedback (DFB) laser operating at 77 K at a wavelength of 923 nm are presented, Threshold current densities in broad area lasers were measured to be as ...
Intersatellite optical communication links require laser beams of at least 1 W of power modulated at gigahertz frequencies. They can be delivered by a master oscillator power amplifier system which consists of a stable single-frequency Nd:YAG laser, a high ...
Mixts. of methane, H, and Ar (CH4:H2:Ar) were studied as UV Raman shifters for ozone differential absorption lidar application. They have higher photochem. stability than pure CH4 and the capability to produce, with high enough efficiency, either 1st CH4 S ...
A 2 + 1 double-resonance laser-induced fluorescence technique is described in which the high power of a pulsed laser is combined with the narrow bandwidth of a single-mode cw ring dye laser. The combination of these laser systems allows the study of highly ...
Structures of very high aspect ratio which are mechanically stiff in the substrate direction and flexible in the direction parallel to the substrate are studied. Such structures can be exploited to produce thermal flexure actuators which are capable of lar ...
