Lasers Allegedly Blind Pilots
Aug 1, 1997 — The US Federal Aviation Administration is investigating four reports of pilots being temporarily blinded by lasers while flying aircraft in the Los Angeles area. The last reported incident occurred when the pilot of a United Airlines Boeing 737 felt a powerful green light flash in his eyes. The light allegedly came from a subdivision near Ontario International Airport. A UPS jet also approaching the Ontario, Calif., airport was swept by a similar beam, blinding the pilot. The co-pilot landed...
Ophthalmology:
Aug 1, 1997 — Lasers have worked in ophthalmology almost since the laser was invented in 1960. Granted, the techniques have changed and new procedures have evolved, but ophthalmological lasers remain among the most widely used of all surgical lasers. Global...
Single-Step QC Laser Emits at 8.5 µm
Aug 1, 1997 — In the latest development in quantum cascade laser research, a group of Northwestern University scientists reported an 8.5-µm emission from quantum cascade lasers grown in a single step by gas-source molecular beam epitaxy. In addition, the...
US Cracks Down on Laser, Chemical Exports Used in Weapons Manufacture
Aug 1, 1997 — The US Department of Commerce has expanded its crackdown on exports beyond nuclear weapons technology to encompass materials for making chemical weapons, including uranium and lasers. Undersecretary William Reinsch said the department has begun...
American Blue Diode Laser Pulses Atop Silicon Carbide Substrate
Jul 1, 1997 — DURHAM, N.C. -- Cree Research Inc. has demonstrated a pulsed blue semiconductor diode laser that operates at room temperature -- a first step in a race for a commercial device that would greatly increase optical storage capacity.The company's 403-nm...
CLEO Attendance Falls
Jul 1, 1997 — CLEO '97 (Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics) held in Baltimore failed to attract as many attendees as it did last year. There were 6644 total attendees this year compared with 6936 for the previous conference in Anaheim, Calif. Of all...
Giant Robots Build Airplanes with the Aid of Laser Tracking
Jul 1, 1997 — Juggling takes skill and focus. Imagine, then, juggling sections of airplanes that weigh 100,000 lb and that must be matched to within thousandths of an inch.That was the situation Ed Chalupa and two fellow engineers faced when in 1993 they formed...
Laser Ultrasonics Drive the Nondestructive Testing Market
Jul 1, 1997 — Laser-based systems will drive ultrasonic testing to the forefront of the nondestructive testing (NDT) market, says an analysis of the US NDT market released by Maxtech International. The systems are designed to test composite aircraft sections and...
Sales Double for Laser, Electro-Optics Companies
Jul 1, 1997 — Total sales have nearly doubled in the last five years for 19 leading companies in the laser and electro-optics industry, according to a report compiled by the Laser and Electro-Optics Manufacturers' Association (LEOMA). In 1992, sales for the 19...
Air Force Lab Chills IR SensorsInternational Team Takes Mid-IR Laser Step
Jun 1, 1997 — Scientists have moved a step closer to achieving a tunable, mid-infrared semiconductor laser, demonstrating an intersubband stimulated emission.A team of researchers from the University of Illinois and the University of Paris conducted tests...
Dutch Group Monitors Laser Deposition
Jun 1, 1997 — Pulsed laser deposition creates complex oxide thin films such as high-Tc superconductors, but it works only under high oxygen pressure (up to 100 Pa). Reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) can monitor the growth of thin films, but only...
Lab Produces Tunable Mid-IR Laser
Jun 1, 1997 — Researchers at Lucent Technologies' Bell Laboratories have produced a pulsed, single-mode laser tunable in the mid-infrared range. The group achieved peak optical powers up to 60 mW at 300 K with a tuning range of about 60 nm from 100 K to 2320...
CLEO '97: R&D Expands Applications
May 1, 1997 — When the Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics/Quantum Electronics and Laser Science (CLEO/QELS '97) kicks off this year, the tens of thousands of attending researchers and developers can be sure of one thing: It’s not just more of the same.In...
Conference Highlights Medical, Entertainment Laser Safety
May 1, 1997 — ORLANDO, Fla. -- A better understanding of the hazards of the surgical laser plume, real-time videos of retinal laser lesions in live animal's eyes and an in-depth examination of endotracheal laser accidents were among the highlights of the Third...
Crane & Co. Receives Exclusive Rights to Spectra Science's LaserPaint
May 1, 1997 — Spectra Science Corp. has licensed LaserPaint, a covert coding and authentication technology, to Crane & Co. of Dalton, Mass., for use in Crane's next-generation currency and secure documents applications. The technology combines laser dyes and...
Diode Lasers Are at the Heart of Cardiac Monitoring System
May 1, 1997 — CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Since 1970, doctors have injected patients with iced saline to measure their hearts' blood output. Periodic injections provide reliable results but do not allow doctors to constantly monitor patients.An infrared irradiating...
Laser-Chilled Atoms Sit for Ultrafast Portrait
May 1, 1997 — Physicists from the University of Michigan recently fired 70-fs pulses from a Ti:sapphire laser to control the random movements of atoms in a potassium-tantalite crystal. The laser was split in two beams, with one arriving at the crystal target a...
NASA to Study Trees With Multibeam Laser
May 1, 1997 — NASA has approved a $59.8 million project to study the distribution of the Earth's forests using a multibeam laser. The study is part of NASA's ambitious Mission to Planet Earth, a multipronged plan to improve the accuracy of geophysical...
Ti:sapphire Laser Amplifier Produces 5 W Average Power
May 1, 1997 — Scientists from Quantronix Corp. and the City University of New York's Center for Advanced Technology have developed a femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser amplifier system that generates an average power output of 5 W. The Titan comprises a regenerative...
Aluminum-Free Diodes Offer Doubled Power Potential
Apr 1, 1997 — Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Coherent Inc. have produced diode lasers with aluminum-free active areas, which they expect will operate more reliably than AlGaAs-active diodes and will provide roughly twice the power. Writing...
CLEO/QELS Papers To Highlight New Technologies
Apr 1, 1997 — Organizers of this year's Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics/Quantum Electronics and Laser Science Conference (CLEOQELS) say they have received 1490 submissions for technical papers, 14 percent more than last year. Hot topics include a...
