چکیده

A high-power, low-noise photodetector, in conjunction with a current shunt actuator, is used in an ac-coupled servo to stabilize the intensity of a 10-W cw Nd:YAG laser. A relative intensity noise of 1 x 10(-8) Hz(-1/2) at 10 Hz is achieved.

Wavelength stabilization and spectrum narrowing of high-power multimode laser diodes and arrays by use of volume Bragg gratings.

Spectral line narrowing (by a factor of 8) and stabilization of the emission wavelength (by a factor of 30) of multimode high-power laser diodes and arrays is demonstrated by use of volume Bragg gratings fabricated in high-stability inorganic photorefractive glasses. Applications include stabilization of pump laser diodes and arrays for solid-state lasers and metal-vapor lasers, spin hyperpolar...

Effects of Thymolphthalein on Thermo-Oxidative Stability of High Density Polyethylene in Melt and Solid States

The present work aimed to evaluate capability of a new molecular structure to stabilize polyethylene against thermal oxidation. Hence, effects of 3,3-bis(4-hydroxy-2-methyl-5-propan-2-ylphenyl)-2-benzofuran-1-one (thymolphthalein) on thermo-oxidative stability of high density polyethylene (HDPE) in both solid and melt states were investigated and compared with those of SONGNOX 1010, a comme...

Observations of Modulated Shock Waves in Solid Targets Driven by Spatially Modulated Laser Beams

68 LLE Review, Volume 90 Introduction Shock waves produced by laser-driven ablation are an important part of studies of inertial confinement fusion (ICF),1,2 the equation of state of materials (EOS),3–5 laboratory astrophysics,6,7 and other high-energy-density sciences. In ICF, nonuniformities in the drive laser can produce nonuniform shocks that create mass perturbations in the target.2 These ...

New Sol-Gel Solution with 45 Days Stability for Preparation Silica Thin Films

As we know sol-gel is one of the most important techniques for thin film preparation. In this paper, high transmission silica thin films have been prepared by dip-coating process from a new silicon-alkoxide solution. The prepared sol was stable for 45 days which is very important to characterize the coating process. The optical properties as a function of aging time, withdrawal rate, and he...
