LASER THEORY: Ten-year-old embarrassment leads to unified laser theory
نویسنده
چکیده
Ten years ago, when a team of researchers led by Claire Gmachl and Federico Capasso at Bell Laboratories (Murray Hill, NJ) grabbed the cover of Science magazine with a paper on “bow-tie” microcavity lasers, they also uncovered what one of their coauthors, A. Douglas Stone of Yale University (New Haven, CT), described as an “embarrassing” theoretical limitation. Now Stone and another team have devised a solution.

Multichannel Kondo approach to the cuprate and recent laser ARPES data
The existing theoretical approaches have been unable to confront the large corpus of outstanding data on the cuprate superconductor in a persuasive and unified manner. There is a general opinion now growing that these theories miss some essential points. We propose one based on multichannel Kondo effect that is physically justifiable and confronts the data adequately. In addition to earlier da...
متن کاملInteraction of Laser Beam and Gold Nanoparticles, Study of Scattering Intensity and the Effective Parameters
In this paper, the optical properties of gold nanoparticles investigated. For this purpose the scattering intensity of a laser beam incident on gold nanoparticles has been studied using Mie theory and their respective curves versus different parameters such as scattering angle, wavelength of the laser beam and the size of gold nanoparticles are plotted. Investigating and comparison of the depi...
متن کاملAnalysis of the theory of thermal damage in biological tissues caused by Laser beam
Introduction: In laser surgery, the laser beam can evaporate and cut the tissue like a small surgical knife when the tissue temperature is heated to 100 degrees Celsius. a complete understanding of the distribution of damage in both pathologic tissue and surrounding tissue is necessary. Although the test is the most realistic solution for treating medical problems, for this rea...
متن کاملNonlocal thermoelastic semi-infinite medium with variable thermal conductivity due to a laser short-pulse
In this article, the thermoelastic interactions in an isotropic and homogeneous semi-infinite medium with variable thermal conductivity caused by an ultra-short pulsed laser heating based on the linear nonlocal theory of elasticity has been considered. We consider that the thermal conductivity of the material is dependent on the temperature. The surface of the surrounding plane of the medium is...
متن کاملUnified Pulsed Laser Range Finder and Velocimeter using Ultra-Fast Time-To-Digital Converter
In this paper, we present a high accuracy laser range finder and velocimeter using ultra-fast time-to-digital converter (TDC). The system operation is based on the measuring the round-trip time of a narrow laser pulse. A low-dark current high-speed PIN photodiode is used to detect the triggered laser beam and to produce start signal. The pulsed laser diode generates 45W optical power at 30ns du...
