چکیده
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 number density produced. The cw x-ray preionizer has many advantages for actual gas laser systems compared with other preionizers. There are attributable to its high-energy photons and its characteristics of the cw x-ray generator. Applicability of the cw x-ray preionizer for actual laser systems, especially for high-repetition-rate pulsed laser systems is discussed.

High Pressure X-Ray Preionized TEMA-CO2 Laser
The construction of a high-pressure (up to 20 atm) transversely excited CO2 laser using transverse X-ray preionization is described. High pressure operation was found to be greatly improved in comparison to UV-preionized systems. Homogeneous discharges have been achieved in the pressure range 5-20 atm, yielding a specific laser output in the order of 35 J/1. PACS: 42.55E, 42.60B Generation and ...

P0005 Particular care must be used when characterizing the excitation beam in nonlinear optical experiments compared to linear measurements. By definition, nonlinear optical phenomena depend on the electric field to high order. The higher the order, the more sensitive the observed behavior depends on the input. Extracting a representative nonlinear coefficient from an experiment, for example, b...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate acute and delayed laser effects of subdermal lipolysis and collagen deposition using an in vivo pig model and to compare histologic findings in fatty tissue after continuous wave diode (CW) vs pulsed laser treatment. METHODS Three CW lasers (980, 1370, and 1470 nm) and 3 pulsed lasers (1064, 1320, and 1440 nm) were used to treat 4 Göttingen minipigs. Following administr...
متن کاملHigh Power Pulsed Intra-Cavity Frequency Doubled Vertical Extended Cavity Blue Laser Arrays
Electrically pumped vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) can produce hundreds of mW's of 976 nm CW output in a TEM00 mode when operated with an external cavity configuration. During pulsed operation (<50ns) a significant increase in the peak power is observed, compared to CW operation. High peak powers makes these lasers very well suited for intra-cavity frequency doubling with a no...
متن کاملDirect Measurement of Facet Temperature up to Melting Point and COD in High-Power 980-nm Semiconductor Diode Lasers
The authors describe a straightforward experimental technique for measuring the facet temperature of a semiconductor laser under high-power operation by analyzing the laser emission itself. By applying this technique to 1-mm-long 980-nm lasers with 6and 9m-wide tapers, they measure a large increase in facet temperature under both continuous wave (CW) and pulsed operation. Under CW operation, th...
