Among all scattering processes, spontaneous Brillouin scattering originates from the interaction between light and thermal acoustic waves propagating in the medium. The interference resulting from the incident light and its spontaneously backscattered frac ...
We treat the generation of flat-top intensity distributions, as required for laser applications at short wavelengths. To obtain high fill factors and almost arbitrary shapes, arrays of diffractive Fresnel zone plates at the fabrication limit are investigat ...
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 ...
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 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 ...
On-column thermooptical absorbance (TOA) detection in capillary electrophoretic separations of various nucleoside and mono- and diphosphate nucleotide mixtures absorbing at 257 nm is demonstrated in 20 μm i.d. capillaries. The analytes are optically pumped ...
A model which takes into account the main phenomena occurring during the laser-cladding process is proposed. For a given laser power, beam radius, powder jet geometry, and clad height, this model evaluates two other processing parameters, namely, the laser ...
In this paper we present briefly two possible approaches for modelling the laser cladding process. The first approach is 2D and consists in finding the shape of the molten pool given the fraction of the laser power which is available at the surface of the ...
Brillouin gain spectrum measurements in fibres are presented, where a single source is used to generate the pump and probe signals, giving highly reliable results. ...
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 ...
