high-gain laser
31Ti-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… …
32Shiva laser — The Shiva laser was a powerful 20 beam infrared neodymium glass (silica glass) laser built at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in 1977 for the study of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and long scale length laser plasma interactions. The… …
33Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy — (TDLAS) is a technique for measuring the concentration of certain species such as methane, water vapor and many more, in a gaseous mixture using tunable diode lasers and laser absorption spectrometry. The advantage of TDLAS over other techniques… …
34Helium-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… …
35Carbon 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… …
36Nd:YAG laser — with lid open showing frequency doubled 532 nm green light Nd:YAG laser rod …
37Solid-state laser — A solid state laser is a laser that uses a gain medium that is a solid, rather than a liquid such as in dye lasers or a gas as in gas lasers. Semiconductor based lasers are also in the solid state, but are generally considered as a separate class …
38Ion laser — An ion laser is a gas laser which uses an ionized gas as its lasing medium. [GoldBookRef|title=ion laser|file=I03219] Like other gas lasers, ion lasers feature a sealed cavity containing the laser medium and mirrors forming a Fabry Perot… …
39Mercury laser — The mercury laser is a high average power laser system being developed as a prototype for systems to drive inertial confinement fusion. Like the National Ignition Facility, it is intended to produce narrow pulses of extremely high power, using… …
40Distributed feedback laser — A distributed feedback laser (DFB) is a type of laser diode, quantum cascade laser or optical fibre laser where the active region of the device is periodically structured as a diffraction grating. The structure builds a one dimensional… …
