چکیده
The acronymLASER, constructed fromLightAmplification byStimulatedEmission of Radiation, has become so common and popular in every day life that it is now referred to as laser. Fundamental theories of lasers, their historical development from milliwatts to petawatts in terms of power, operation principles, beam characteristics, and applications of laser have been the subject of several books [1–5]. Introduction of lasers, types of laser systems and their operating principles, methods of generating extreme ultraviolet/vacuum ultraviolet (EUV/VUV) laser lights, properties of laser radiation, and modification in basic structure of lasers are the main sections of this chapter.

Modulation Response and Relative Intensity Noise Spectra in Quantum Cascade Lasers
Static properties, relatively intensity noise and intensity modulation response in quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) studied theoretically in this paper. The present rate equations model consists of three equations for the electrons density in the conduction band and one equation for photons density in cavity length. Two equations were derived to calculate the noise and modulation response. Calcula...
متن کاملHigh 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 ...
متن کاملON OPTIMAL NOZZLE SHAPES OF GAS-DYNAMIC LASERS
Pontryagin's principle is used to study the shape of the supersonic part of the nozzle of a carbon dioxide gas-dynamic laser whose gain is maximal. The exact shape is obtained for the uncoupled approximation of Anderson's bimodal model. In this case, if sharp corners are allowed, the ceiling of the supersonic part consists of a slant rectangular sheet followed by a horizontal one; otherwise...

12 ABSTRACT | With edge-emitting GaN-based lasers in commer13 cial systems, attention is shifting to more demanding and re14 warding emitters. These encompass microcavity (MC)-based 15 vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) and polariton 16 lasers. The impetus centers on applications such as high-speed/ 17 high-resolution laser printing/scanning technology, lighting, 18 and new types ...
متن کاملDesign aspects of medical laser devices
Fundamentals and applications of medical lasers for various clinical procedures including dermatology and plastic surgery, wound healings, nerve stimulation, dentistry, cancer therapy, and ophthalmic surgeries were reviewed recently [1]. The laser spectra of UV (190400) um, visible (400-700) nm, near-IR (700-2900) nm, and mid-IR (3-5) um having various penetration depths (from determine the pro...
