Laser Diode Gas Spectroscopy

The use of laser sources for optical spectroscopy experimentation is a well-established, cross-disciplinary field with an enormous number of applications in research areas as broad as Physics, Chemistry or Biology (Demtröder, 1996). The high optical intensity achieved with these types of sources, along with the extraordinary monochromaticity of their optical output, has a huge impact in spectro...

Proton Acceleration by High Intensity Laser Field: Self-Similarity Description

This paper studies the specific features of energy and angular distribution of protons accelerated by high intensity ultrashort laser pulse from a dense target. Production and acceleration of particle beams by ultrashort laser pulses with light intensities of order of 10 W/cm and higher is interesting both from the theoretical point of view and for practical applications, e.g., development of c...

Isotope dependence of gas laser intensity profiles.

We describe first the single mode output intensity of a Brewster windowed laser containing isotope mixtures when the cavity tuning is varied, and then the single mode output of a non-Brewster windowed laser under the influence of an axial magnetic field (Zeeman laser). We show how the central tuning (Lamb) dip in intensity gives way to more complicated tuning dependences such as a double dip. F...

High Intensity Lasers in Periodontics: A Review

Background and Aim: Lasers can serve as a new powerful tool in dentistry. High intensity laser therapy is becoming the treatment of choice compared with conventional periodontal therapy due to accurate incision and soft and hard tissue ablation, hemostasis, reduction of postoperative pain and infection, optimal debridement, and enhanced healing. Although high intensity laser therapy assumes to ...
