high-energy laser
91TEA laser — The CO2 TEA laser was invented in the late 1960s by Dr Jacques Beaulieu working at the Defence Research Establishment, Valcartier, in Quebec, Canada. The development was kept secret until 1970 when brief details were published.C K N Patel,… …
92Apache Point Observatory Lunar Laser-ranging Operation — APOLLO shooting a laser at the Moon. The laser pulse is reflected from the retroreflectors on the Moon (see below) and returned to the telescope. The round trip time tells the distance to the Moon to great accuracy. In this picture the Moon is… …
93Free electron laser — A free electron laser, or FEL, is a laser that shares the same optical properties as conventional lasers such as emitting a beam consisting of coherent electromagnetic radiation which can reach high power, but which uses some very different… …
94Argus laser — Argus was a two beam high power infrared neodymium doped silica glass laser with a 20 cm output aperture built at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in 1976 for the study of inertial confinement fusion. Argus advanced the study of laser… …
95Mass–energy equivalence — E=MC2 redirects here. For other uses, see E=MC2 (disambiguation). 4 meter tall sculpture of Einstein s 1905 E = mc2 formula at the 2006 Walk of Ideas, Berlin, Germany In physics, mass–energy equivalence is the concept that the …
96Ti-sapphire laser — Ti:sapphire lasers (also known as Ti:Al2O3 lasers, titanium sapphire lasers, or simply Ti:sapphs) are tunable lasers which emit red and near infrared light in the range from 650 to 1100 nanometers. These lasers are mainly used in scientific… …
97Carbon dioxide laser — The carbon dioxide laser (CO2 laser) was one of the earliest gas lasers to be developed (invented by Kumar Patel of Bell Labs in 1964 [cite journal last = Patel first = C. K. N. authorlink = C. Kumar N. Patel year = 1964 title = Continuous Wave… …
98Helium-neon laser — A helium neon laser, usually called a HeNe laser, is a type of small gas laser. HeNe lasers have many industrial and scientific uses, and are often used in laboratory demonstrations of optics. Its usual operation wavelength is 632.8 nm, in the… …
99Solar thermal energy — Solar thermal system for water heating in Santorini, Greece …
100Nuclear pumped laser — A nuclear pumped laser is a laser pumped with the energy of fission fragments. The lasing medium is enclosed in a tube lined with uranium 235 and subjected to high neutron flux in a nuclear reactor core. The fission fragments of the uranium… …
