Ultrafast laser spectroscopy has extended reaction-dynamic studies into the dcosecond and femtosecond time domain. allowing for experimintal observations of transitory fragments that occur during collision or half-collision. This ability to observe molecular reactions allows real-time viewing of energy redistributions, measurements of state-to-state rates, and tests of microscopic statistical t...

The author provides his perspective on resurfacing procedures in dark-skinned patients, advising a cautious approach to laser resurfacing. Laser complications in Fitzpatrick skin types III to VI, including hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, and scarring, are well documented. Unlike chemical peeling and dermabrasion, with laser resurfacing, preoperative treatment does not control postoperative...

Intense laser emission has been observed from the KrF molecule formed by a chemical reaction initiated by fast-discharge circuitry. With a gas mixture of He:Kr:NF, = 500:50:1 and a sample pressure of 700 Torr, an output energy of 0. 8 mj was measured from a 25-nsec laser pulse (FWHM). Spectral analysis of the laser emission indicated laser action at 248.5 and 249.5 nm.

Wavelength-agile, single and multiline laser radiation has been obtained from a subsonic gas flow system which is optically pumped with a multiline chemical laser. This optical resonance transfer laser (ORTL) concept was first demonstrated on the 10.6pm DF/C02 system in 1976, Since then, several IR laser pumped molecular lasers have been demonstrated. The pump laser is either a cw HF or DF chem...
