We demonstrate, in great detail, a completely waterless synthesis route to produce highly crystalline epitaxial thin films of TiO2-B and its more stable variant CaTi5O11, using pulsed laser deposition (PLD).

Er:YGG is a promising candidate for greenhouse-gas LIDAR due to fortuitous transitions around key absorption lines of carbon-dioxide and methane. We present growth of crystal films by pulsed-laser-deposition, their spectroscopy and initial characterization as amplifiers. OCIS codes: (310.0310) Thin films; (220.4610) Optical fabrication; (230.7390) Waveguides, planar; (130.0130) Laser materials;...

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a silicone-elastomer that owes its large application in the field of stretchable electronics to chemical and thermal stability, transparency, flexibility, non-toxicity, compatibility, low cost. PDMS versatile material because it can be used both as an elastic substrate and, after functionalization, active for design electronics. One possible route functionalizatio...

Thin films of ZnO have been deposited on glass and silicon substrates by the pulsed laser deposition technique employing a KrF laser ~l5248 nm!. The influence of the deposition parameters, such as substrate temperature, oxygen pressure, and laser fluence on the properties of the grown films, has been studied. All the films grown over a rather wide range of deposition conditions were found to be...

according to the english literature, various lasers and light sources (i,g. argon ion lasers, pulsed ktp lasers, diode lasers and nd:yag lasers, pulsed dye laser(pdl), intense pulsed light sources (ipls) are applicable for the treatment of different vascular lesions. these conditions are the most important indication for laser therapy. this review summarizes the current literature on ipl with r...

Thin films of poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA), a biodegradable polymer, were deposited on Si wafers by both conventional pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and matrix assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE) using chloroform (CHCl3) as a matrix solvent. This research represents an initial study to investigate the deposition characteristics of each technique at comparable conditions to gain insig...

Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) has been proposed several years ago as a suitable technique to deposit a pure Mg film over a radio frequency (rf ) gun Cu backflange in order to obtain a high efficiency photocathode surface for the generation of high brightness electron beams. In this paper we report preliminary experimental results on the emission properties of a PLD grown Mg film within the high...
