Cw X-ray Preionized Pulsed Gas Lasers

We have successfully demonstrated that the cw x-ray generator can work as a preionization source for a pulsed H F laser. The preionization effect of cw x radiation was revealed by a comparative study of with and without applying x-ray photons to the H F laser. Since dose rate of the cw x-ray generator is easily controllable, the laser output could be measured as a function of initial electron n...

Cw Optical Resonance Transfer Lasers (ortl)

Wavelength-agile, single and multiline laser radiation has been obtained from a subsonic gas flow system which is optically pumped with a multiline chemical laser. This optical resonance transfer laser (ORTL) concept was first demonstrated on the 10.6pm DF/C02 system in 1976, Since then, several IR laser pumped molecular lasers have been demonstrated. The pump laser is either a cw HF or DF chem...

Comparative study between Ruby, Alexandrite and Diode lasers in hirsutism

Background: Hirsutism is a common problem for which laser is being the treatment of choice. Several lasers with varying wavelengths, pulse durations, energy fluences and skin cooling systems, are currently used for hair removal. However, the ideal laser parameters and group of patients who respond better after treatment remain largely unknown. Objectives: A prospective study to evaluate the lon...

Dynamic Behavior of Scaled Microdisk Lasers

Room-temperature small-signal intensity-modulation frequency response of InGaAs/InGaAsP multiple quantum well microdisk lasers depends on disk radius. For frequencies up to 2 GHz the measured response of a small radius microdisk laser is closer to an ideal laser compared to larger devices. The dynamic response of larger radius lasers is strongly in¯uenced by the presence of a reservoir of carri...
