Quantum efficiency studies for various laser wavelengths and various technical metal surfaces were carried out in a dedicated unbaked vacuum chamber in the absence of a significant electrical field. Copper, magnesium, aluminum, and aluminum-lithium photoca ...
Atom probe tomography allows for three-dimensional reconstruction of the elemental distribution in materials at the nanoscale. However, the measurement of the chemical composition of compound semiconductors may exhibit strong biases depending on the experi ...
The aim of this project is to study the use of pulsed infrared laser light to stimulate the central auditory system. This novel approach may be a means to improve the efficacy of the current generation of electrically based Auditory Brainstem Implants (ABI ...
The alignment stability is a major concern for Thomson scattering systems. Even small angular deviations of the laser beams crossing the plasma lead to a loss of the calibration resulting in unreliable measurements of the electron density profile. For the ...

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) and Selective Laser Melting (SLM) are parent Additive Manufacturing processes using a laser to solidify metallic, ceramic, polymer or composite powders. During the process, the object is built layer by layer. A laser source ...
We present photonic crystal structures that exhibit small group velocity of light, which can be used as compact optical delay component. We experimentally measure the group velocity reduction to be less than 0.008c. By breaking the rotation symmetry of the ...
Fiber lasers are compact lightsources with high intrinsic beam quality and high efficiency. The lasing spectrum ranges from the blue to the near infrared and is achievable using fibers with different dopants and glass compositions. All-fiber lasers are cha ...
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 ...
Optical fiber materials with broad-band gain in the visible or in the telecommunication window are of great interest for optical communication or the biomedical domain in order to built integrated tunable lasers, amplifiers, ultra-short pulse lasers, or br ...
