end-pumped laser
1Laser pumping — is the act of energy transfer from an external source into the gain medium of a laser. The energy is absorbed in the medium, producing excited states in its atoms. When the number of particles in one excited state exceeds the number of particles… …
2Laser diode — Top: a packaged laser diode shown with a penny for scale. Bottom: the laser diode chip is removed from the above package and placed on the eye of a needle for scale …
3Laser cutting — process on a sheet of steel. CAD (top) and stainless steel laser cut part (bottom) Laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to cut materials, an …
4Laser TV — is a new video display technology using laser optoelectronics.HistoryProposed as long ago as 1966 [cite web url=http://www.insightmedia.info/reportinfo.php?2006laser title=2006 Laser Projection Systems Report publisher=… …
5Laser Mégajoule — (LMJ) is an experimental inertial confinement fusion (ICF) device being built near Bordeaux, in France by the French nuclear science directorate, CEA. Laser Mégajoule plans to deliver about 1.8 MJ of laser energy to its targets, making it… …
6Laser safety — A typical laser warning symbol. Laser safety is safe design, use and implementation of lasers to minimize the risk of laser accidents, especially those involving eye injuries. Since even relatively small amounts of laser light can lead to… …
7Laser pointer — A laser pointer is a portable, pen sized laser designed to be held in the hand, and most commonly used to project a point of light to highlight items of interest during a presentation. Most laser pointers have low enough power that the projected… …
8Hybrid silicon laser — A hybrid silicon laser is a semiconductor laser fabricated from both silicon and group III V semiconductor materials. The hybrid silicon laser was developed to address the lack of a silicon laser to enable fabrication of low cost, mass producible …
9Diode-pumped solid-state laser — A frequency doubled green laser pointer, showing internal construction. Cells and electronics lead to a laser head module (see lower diagram) This contains a powerful 808 nm IR diode laser that pumps a Nd:YVO4 laser crystal, that in turn outputs… …
10Nitrogen laser — A 337nm wavelength and 170 µJ pulse energy 20 Hz cartridge nitrogen laser A nitrogen laser is a gas laser operating in the ultraviolet range[1] (typically 337.1 nm) using molecular nitrogen as its gain medium, pumped by an electrical… …
