28Yttrium orthovanadate — (YVO4) is a transparent crystal. It is commonly doped with neodymium to form , an active laser medium used in diode pumped solid state lasers. Undoped YVO4 is also used to make efficient high power polarizing prisms similar to Glan Taylor prisms …
29Surface second harmonic generation — is a method for probing interfaces in atomic and molecular systems. In second harmonic generation (SHG), the light frequency is doubled, essentially converting two photons of the original beam of energy E into a single photon of energy 2 E as it… …
30Blue Phase Mode LCD — History= In Reinitzer s reports from 1888 on the melting behaviour of cholesteryl benzoate there is a note that the substance briefly turned blue as it changed from clear to cloudy upon cooling. This subtle effect however remained unexplored for… …
