Laser Fusion: An Old Dream Nears Realization
Jan 1, 1997 — When completed in 2002, the National Ignition Facility will culminate more than a decade of research on laser ignition: the controlled implosion of a small, hydrogen-isotope-filled target by laser beams of sufficient energy and quality to create...
Microlasers Can Anticipate Expanding Market
Jan 1, 1997 — The air-cooled argon-ion laser remains the most widely used source OEM applications requiring blue or green light. However, its shortcomings in efficiency, size, operating life and cost have inhibited the growth and development of applications....
PC-Based Laser Analyzers: New Uses Require Improved Devices
Jan 1, 1997 — Over the past few years the beam-profile quality of lasers has risen dramatically. Nevertheless, competitive pressures and demanding applications require even higher beam quality and are pushing the capabilities of many lasers. The only way to...
Russian Laser at Duke University Pumps out UV, Gamma Rays
Jan 1, 1997 — DURHAM, N.C. -- After settling in at Duke University, the Russian free-electron laser (FEL), has been brought to life emitting UV beams. The OK4 optical klystron FEL, developed at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics in Novosibirsk, Russia, was...
Boeing Wins $1.1 Billion Contract to Build Laser-Armed Warplane
Dec 1, 1996 — The US Air Force awarded a $1.1 billion contract to Boeing Defense Space Group to manufacture a prototype laser-armed warplane that would target enemy ballistic missiles. The plane, a modified 747 freighter, will carry a weapons-class laser that can...
Candela Medical Laser Systems Approved for Use in Japan
Dec 1, 1996 — Japan's Ministry of Health has approved two laser systems developed by Candela Corp. of Wayland, Mass., for the treatment of skin lesions. The devices, the AlexLAZR and the PLTL Pigmented Lesion/TATULAZR, use the company's alexandrite laser...
Coherent Ships Glaucoma-Treating Lasers Overseas
Dec 1, 1996 — Coherent Inc. of Santa Clara, Calif., announced that it will begin shipment outside the US of a medical laser used in primary open-angle glaucoma treatment. The company designed its Selecta 7000 specifically to perform selective laser...
Diode-Pumped Solid-State Lasers Find Their Place in the Lab
