Photonic capsules for injectable laser resonators Date: July 6, 2018 Source: The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) Summary: Researchers have presented photonic capsules ...

This assembly, known as the resonator, concentrates the power that is introduced into the light beam that is emitted. In the argon-ion laser, this concentration is relatively inefficient compared with ...

VCSELs are a vital class of semiconductor laser diodes accompanying a monolithic laser resonator that emits light in a direction perpendicular to the chip surface. This class of lasers is gaining ...

The Boeing-led Airborne Laser (ABL) team has begun firing the megawatt-class weapon through the beam control/fire control system and nose-mounted turret on the modified Boeing 747-400F—and into ...

Traditional laser cavities are based on Fabry-Pérot resonators where light bounces back and forth between two mirrors. The size of the cavity is limited to about a wavelength. "In our work, the ...

Using a second independent laser system to measure the displacement, the team detected oscillations with an amplitude of only 10 -18 m for a 1 s averaging time (10 -18 m/Hz ½). Measuring the ...

CHEMICAL LASER: Boeing, industry partners and the U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA) have completed installation of the Airborne Laser (ABL) high-energy laser aboard its 747-400 and have begun ...

See the publication by Michael. For conversion, the incoming longitudinal mode-locked beam must be in resonance with the resonator. Under normal circumstances, this resonance only occurs sporadically ...
