Excimer Laser Ablation is a micro-machining method which has undergone an important breakthrough in the last twenty years. In contrast with most literature studies, dealing with Static Ablation, this PhD work focuses on the study of Scanning Ablation of po ...
In order to improve the reliability of micro-spot welding of metal parts in production such as e.g. in electron guns for TV picture tubes, real-time information about the evolution of the welding process should be available to allow on-line modification of ...
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 ...
Diode-pumped solid body laser comprises an acoustic-optical modulator, a laser crystal, a delay plate and a crystal that doubles the frequency of the laser beam. Pulse lengthening is carried out by internal coupling of a doubler mechanism within the laser ...
An experimental demonstration of a set of optical logic gates (OR, XOR, AND) is shown using non-linear mixing in a BBO crystal. Pulses generated by a femtosecond Ti:Sapphire laser at 800 nm (140 fs duration, 2nJ/pulse) are split in 4 beams evenly separated ...

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 common configuration for deflecting laser beams in two dimensions is based on two single-axis galvanometric scanners placed perpendicular to each other. Over recent years, these fast scanners have proved to be both very reliable and very accurate. They ...
Single-pass Raman cells pumped by either a quadrupled Nd:YAG (266-nm) laser or a KrF excimer laser are studied. The Raman-active gases comprise H2, D2, or CH4, as well as a mixt. of them, with the addn. of He, Ne, or Ar. A parametric study, in which the St ...
Pump and Probe measurements with femtosecond pulses are performed on a Gain-Clamped Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (a special laser structure). The relaxation oscillations of the carriers density are observed directly in the time domain, Reasonable values ...
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 ...
