The laser beam profiles captured by CCD camera processed and analyzed by using 2Dgraphic and displayed on the monitor. The analysis of the He-Ne profiles and laser diode profiles are presented. The results showed that the He-Ne laser emits a pure Gaussian beam, whereas the diode laser emits an elliptical beam shape. The laser beam profile analysis developed to study the intensity distribution, ...

In this paper, the dynamic behavior of laser induced optical breakdown in impure water was studied by using a pump- probe technique. The plasma was induced by a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser pulse (with pulse duration ~10 ns) in distilled water with two types of impurities: (I) a solution (highly diluted salt water as a conductor) and (II) a colloidal (TiO2 in colloidal nanoparticle form as a dielectric...

Between X-ray tubes and large-scale synchrotron sources, a large gap in performance exists with respect to the monochromaticity and brilliance of the X-ray beam. However, due to their size and cost, large-scale synchrotrons are not available for more routine applications in small and medium-sized academic or industrial laboratories. This gap could be closed by laser-driven compact synchrotron l...

A new scheme for the two-dimensional cooling of ion beams in storage rings is suggested in which ions interact with a counterpropagating broad-band laser beam. The interaction region in the direction of the ion movement is much less then the wavelength of the ion betatron oscillations. The laser beam in the orbit plane has sharp flat edge directed to the ion beam and the width of the laser beam...

laser forming is a modern process which is mainly used for forming metals. different lasers are used in this regard that includes nd: yag and co2. in this study, forming bi-layer sheets of aluminum/ceramic by laser was investigated. furthermore, effect of uniform and gaussian heat flux distribution in different power, velocity, and beam diameters on bending angle was studied. fem simulation ind...

We present a two stage Inverse Free Electron Laser accelerator proposed for construction at the UCLA Neptune Lab. Proof-of -principle experiments on the IFEL scheme have been carried out successfully. This experiment is intended to achieve a 100 MeV energy gain, staging two IFEL modules. It will use a 16 MeV electron beam, a 1 TW CO2 laser and two different tapered helical undulators. The probl...

Hybrid laser processing for precision microfabrication of hard materials, in which the interaction of a conventional pulsed laser beam and another medium on the material surface leads to effective ablation, is reviewed. The main role of the medium is to produce strong absorption of the nanosecond laser beam by the materials. Simultaneous irradiation with the ultraviolet (UV) laser beam and the ...
