First investigations of photoacoustic (PA) spectroscopy (PAS) of methane using an antimonide semiconductor laser are reported. The laser fabrication is made in two steps. The structure is firstly grown by molecular beam epitaxy, then a metallic distributed ...
Frequency stabilization is generally performed by using atomic or molecular absorption lines. However, it is sometimes necessary to lock a laser at a frequency located outside of any absorption peaks. In this case, an offset locking configuration is necess ...
This work presents the development of an original concept of a side pumped diode pumped crystal laser for the generation of a high power near diffraction limited beam for material processing applications such as cutting, marking and drilling. An approach b ...
Multi-hydrogenated compounds detection based on photoacoustic (PA) spectroscopy is reported. Three near-infrared semiconductor lasers are used with a resonant PA cell operated in its first longitudinal mode to monitor methane, water vapour and hydrogen chl ...
Characteristics of one-cascade (1.06 double right arrow 1.24 mum) and two-cascade (1.06 double right arrow 1.24 double right arrow 1.48 mum) phosphorus-doped fiber Raman lasers are studied. The cavities of both lasers are formed by Bragg gratings written d ...
A 3D imager is presented capable of capturing the depth map of an arbitrary scene. Depth is measured by computing the time-of-flight of a ray of light as it leaves the source and is reflected by the objects in the scene. The round-trip time is converted to ...
Because of the strong electron-phonon coupling of the emitting 3d orbital in transition-metal (TM) ions, 3d systems exhibit luminescence with typically several hundred nm of spectral bandwidth. TM-ion-doped materials are, therefore, of high interest for ap ...
Nd:YAG laser welding of high reflectivity metals is difficult because of the highly non-linear light-material interaction yielding a narrow process window and poor reliability. However, achieving high reliability is mandatory for applying this technique in ...
The purpose of this paper is to present a detailed characterization of a dual-wavelength VCSEL - the BiVCSEL. This device consists of two active optical cavities, which share a coupling mirror and can be independently electrically pumped. We present the ou ...
Spectroscopic measurements on ethylene were performed using a quasi-room-temperature quantum cascade (QC) laser operated in pulsed mode in the 10.3 μm range. Using transmission spectroscopy, a broadening of the ethylene absorption spectrum was observed wit ...
