  • A Laser (From the Acronym Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) Is an Optical Source That Emits Photons in a Coherent Beam
    LASER A laser (from the acronym Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) is an optical source that emits photons in a coherent beam. The verb to lase means "to produce coherent light" or possibly "to cut or otherwise treat with coherent light", and is a back- formation of the term laser. Laser light is typically near-monochromatic, i.e. consisting of a single wavelength or color, and emitted in a narrow beam. This is in contrast to common light sources, such as the incandescent light bulb, which emit incoherent photons in almost all directions, usually over a wide spectrum of wavelengths. Laser action is explained by the theories of quantum mechanics and thermodynamics. Many materials have been found to have the required characteristics to form the laser gain medium needed to power a laser, and these have led to the invention of many types of lasers with different characteristics suitable for different applications. The laser was proposed as a variation of the maser principle in the late 1950's, and the first laser was demonstrated in 1960. Since that time, laser manufacturing has become a multi- billion dollar industry, and the laser has found applications in fields including science, industry, medicine, and consumer electronics.

  • Laser Study on Q-Switch of Cr4 +: YAG Self-Saturated Crystals
    Insight - Physics(2018.1) Original Research Article Laser Study on Q-switch of Cr4 +: YAG Self-saturated Crystals Yonghui Lin,Xiao Wang,Xiaodong Zhao Department of Physics, Langfang Jiaotong University, Hebei, China ABSTRACT In recent years, with the rapid development of computer technology applications, computer simulation experiments have been widely used in various fields of science and application, plays an important and indispensable role. Similarly, computer simulation experiments in laser research are also important; it can be a limited amount of time in a large number of repeated experiments, resulting in the characteristics of the laser curve to study. If the same actual experiment, the time required is very long, the investment of funds is huge. So through the computer simulation experiment to guide the actual experiment, can study the smooth progress. It is the guarantee of actual experiment. KEYWORDS: - 1. Introduction Solid tunable laser has the advantages of compact structure, wide tuning range, convenient tuning, large output power and high repetition rate. It quickly replaced the dye tunable laser as the active fi eld of laser research. The tunable range of Cr4 + ions can cover the spectral region of 1.1μm-1.8μm, which includes many very important bands, such as the zero loss of the fi ber, the zero dispersion area and the safety band of the human eye. In the optoelectronic information technology, Spectroscopy, atmospheric measurement, environmental monitoring, life sciences and semiconductor materials research has important applications. In the Cr4 + ion as the activation of the central ion of the laser crystal, the transition metal ion solid tunable laser was successfully operated.

  • Infrared Study of Transient Molecules in Chemical Lasers
    INFRARED STUDY OF TRANSIENT MOLECULES IN CHEMICAL LASERS GEORGE c. PIMENTEL Chemistry Department, University oJ California, Berkeley, California, U.S.A. The Ninth European Congress on Molecular Spectroscopy is devoted mainly to infrared and Raman spectroscopy. However, the present paper will be concerned with a rather novel kind of infrared spectroscopy, the study of the emissions from chemical lasers. This work was initiated in the course of rapid scan infrared spectroscopy with more conventional aims of molecular spectroscopy. It is an appropriate subject for this Congress because molecular spectroscopists will surely be able to contribute richly to this field and because the consideration of possible new frontiers of spec­ troscopy is in the tradition of this excellent Congress. INTRODUCTION In a chemical laser, the population inversion results directly from the distribution of reaction heat among the available degrees of freedom in the course of an elementary reaction process. Hence, in principle, chemical laser pumping might excite electronic, vibration-rotation or pure rotational laser transitions. Electronic population inversions can be expected to be rather rare since most electronic transitions involve rather high energies relative to reaction heats. Rotational population inversions may be produced in many reactions but even if they are, they will be difficult to maintain because of the rapidity of rotation-translation equilibration. Vibrational excitation escapes both of these difficulties. Only moderate energies are needed and vibrational equilibration can require many thousands of mole­ cular collisions. Hence there are rich possibilities for chemicallasers involving vibrational population inversions. I t is gratifying that such population inversions hold quite interesting information about elementary chemical processes.

  • Electrically Excited, Supersonic Flow Carbon-Monoxide Laser with Air Species in Laser Mixture
    JOURNAL OF PROPULSION AND POWER Vol. 34, No. 6, November–December 2018 Electrically Excited, Supersonic Flow Carbon-Monoxide Laser with Air Species in Laser Mixture M. Yurkovich,∗ Z. Eckert,∗ E. R. Jans,∗ A. P. Chernukho,† K. Frederickson,‡ J. W. Rich,§ and I. V. Adamovich¶ Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 43210 DOI: 10.2514/1.B37053 Performance parameters of an electric discharge excited, supersonic flow CO laser operated with significant amounts of air species in the laser mixture is studied experimentally and by kinetic modeling. The results demonstrate that adding nitrogen to the CO–He mixture increases the laser power significantly, by up to a factor of 3. Adding oxygen reduces CO vibrational excitation and results in a steep laser power reduction. Adding air to the laser mixture also produces higher output power, such that the positive effect of nitrogen outweighs the negative effect of oxygen. This result indicates that a chemical CO laser, not dependent on the electric discharge for excitation, may be capable of operating in a mixture of carbon vapor and air. Performance of a supersonic flow chemical laser excited by a reaction of carbon vapor and molecular oxygen is analyzed by kinetic modeling. Peak laser power is predicted at the C vapor mole fraction of 0.2%, when 15% of energy stored in CO vibrational energy mode (4.5% of the reaction enthalpy) is converted to laser power. At higher C vapor mole fractions, flow temperature rise caused by exothermic reactions and by CO vibrational relaxation results in rapid reduction of the predicted laser power. I. Introduction Electric discharge excited CO lasers emitting in midinfrared have RECENT experimental study [1] has shown that a chemical demonstrated high power and efficiency, up to 200 kW [7] and 50% reaction between carbon vapor and molecular oxygen, [8], with optimal performance achieved using electric discharges A operated at cryogenic temperatures.

Cover figure: A laser profilometer image of the topography of a hot rolled stainless steel surface (middle), with a photograph of an experimental setup for absorptance measurements using an integrating sphere (left) and a computer-generated Gaussian random rough surface illustrating the principles of ray-tracing (right). Acknowledgements The work presented in this Doctoral thesis is devoted to the theoretical and experimental study of the light absorption mechanisms in laser processing of rough metals and metallic alloys. The Doctoral thesis consists of a short introduction and a series of six papers, all dealing with different aspects of this topic. This work has been carried out at the Division of Manufacturing Systems Engineering at Luleå University of Technology (LTU) in Luleå, Sweden, and at the Department of Engineering, Physics and Mathematics at Mid Sweden University (MIUN) in Östersund, Sweden, from 2003 to 2008. I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisors Prof. Alexander Kaplan (LTU) and Prof. Torbjörn Carlberg (MIUN) for their advice and support during these past years.
