The possibility of developing a photochemical setup on the basis of an optically pumped ammonia laser with an intracavity photoreactor is proved. The obtained values of the cavity 'implication' factor γ are comparable with those of intracavity systems based on a CO2 laser. The conditions for achieving the maximum energy in the focusing cavity are determined and the ways to control the shape of its caustic are indicated.

Visible Laser Light Communication System (VLLC) is a wireless communication system, using laser as the medium. In the data transfer process, it is possible to have optical interference where 2 laser beams coincide with one point on the reflector. Research on the effect of laser source interference has been carried out by several researchers including mitigation actions to reduce its effects. This experiment uses 2 optical distance sensors that produce a laser with a wavelength of 650 nm with a power <=4.1 mW and with the direction of the laser beam both of them cross each other. To determine the effect of the interference of two laser beams when crossing the communication process in the visible light communication system, a reflector is used which can capture the two laser beams and the reflector can be shifted gradually so that a condition can be obtained where the two laser beams meet at one point. From the measurements made at the points after the laser beam crossing, the meas...

We have investigated the nonlinear optical interaction of uniform and kink states of a nematic and a ferrofluid-doped nematic (ferronematic) liquid crystal with an incident laser field. We find that the transition between the permitted uniform oreintational states of these systems is of first order in the case of nematics, and of second order in the case of ferronematics. In the latter case we also find the phenomenon of reentrance. We find new kink states in a magnetic field with topological winding different from π in the case of nematics, and 2π in the case of ferronematics. In ferronematics, due to grain segregation the phase diagrams for uniform and kink states are entirely different. In these systems we find a first or second order structural transformation from a single kink into a pair of kinks. Further, we obtain a rich variety of kink states as the intensity of the laser field is varied.

Despite the advances in optical technologies for early detection of cancer, routine clinical applications are still not standardized. Among several optical methods, laser-induced fluorescence is a more matured and well understood technique. Still due care has to be taken about various factors to avoid erroneous results. The authors have carried out a systematic study on the effect of the various experimental parameters such as source stability, area of exposure, and angular/distance dependence of a fiber probe, which is ...

Lab on Chip technologies have enabled the possibility of novel μTAS devices (micro Total Analysis System) that could drastically improve health care services for billions of people around the world. However, serious drawbacks that reside in fluid handling technology currently available for these systems often restrict the commercialization of such devices. This work demonstrates a novel fluid handling method as a possible alternative to current micropumping techniques for disposable microfluidic chips. This technology is based on a single use, low cost, thermal micropumping system in which expandable microsphere mixtures are activated by commercial grade laser diodes to achieve flow rates as high as 2.2 μl/s and total volumes over 160 μl. With the addition of a volume dependent shut off valve, nanoliter repeatability is realized. Pressure and heat transfer related data are presented. Finally, the possible prospects and limitations of this technology as a core element in unified optofluidic systems are discussed.

Almost every night, lasers pointed at an aircraft/ATC tower can lead to hazards.
Especially, during critical phases of flight such as approach, landing and takeoff.
Laser beam can cause distraction, or glare or temporary flash blindness, causing
Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I) or going around. The major incidents categories

Novel techniques for laser beam atmospheric extinction  measurements, suitable for manned and unmanned
aerospace vehicle applications, are presented in this paper. Extinction measurements are essential to support the
engineering development and the operational employment of a variety of aerospace electro-optical sensor systems,
allowing calculation of the range performance attainable with such systems in current and likely future applications.
Such applications include ranging, weaponry, Earth remote sensing and possible planetary exploration missions
performed by satellites and unmanned flight vehicles. Unlike traditional LIDAR methods, the proposed techniques
are based on measurements of the laser energy (intensity and spatial distribution) incident on target surfaces of
known geometric and reflective characteristics, by means of infrared detectors and/or infrared cameras calibrated for
radiance. Various laser sources can be employed with wavelengths from the visible to the far infrared portions of
the spectrum, allowing for data correlation and extended sensitivity. Errors affecting measurements performed
using the proposed methods are discussed in the paper and algorithms are proposed that allow a direct determination
of the atmospheric transmittance and spatial characteristics of the laser spot. These algorithms take into account a
variety of linear and non-linear propagation effects. Finally, results are presented relative to some experimental
activities performed to validate the proposed techniques. Particularly, data are presented relative to both ground and
flight trials performed with laser systems operating in the near infrared (NIR) at λ = 1064 nm and λ = 1550 nm.
This includes ground tests performed with 10 Hz and 20 KHz PRF NIR laser systems in a large variety of atmospheric conditions, and flight trials performed with a 10 Hz airborne NIR laser system installed on a TORNADO aircraft, flying up to altitudes of 22,000 ft.

The article shows the possibilities of nondestructive testing of the subsurface structure of various objects by means of pulse thermography technique. A number of examples are presented and their structure is analyzed. The technique includes heating the surface of an object with laser radiation and pyrometric investigation of local changes in surface temperature. Information is extracted from thermography results obtained both during forced heating and during subsequent cooling of the sample. The main attention in the article is paid to parts made of plastics used as structural materials in a wide range of products.

The analysis of the apparent source is used in laser safety to evaluate the retinal hazard. This study provides an analytic method to determine the location and size of the apparent source for laser beams. This method shows that the beam cross section at the center of curvature of the wave front at the eye lens can be considered the apparent source in terms of both the location and size. The approximation given by using the beam waist as the apparent source is examined and the error introduced by this approximation is evaluated. This analysis shows that the beam waist can be considered to be the apparent source only when the distance of the eye from the beam waist is much greater than the Rayleigh length of the beam. Examples showing the location and size of the apparent source are given for different beam characteristics and viewing distances. Measurement methods are also specified to provide an alternative to the analytic method.

Laser beam when expanded shows non-uniform illumination due to the presence of dust particles on mirrors and other optical elements. Due to coherence  interference  among the scattered beam is inevitable, leading to 'pits and valleys' some thing like moon's structure!  So cleaning is needed as a prelude to the experiments to follow. This cleaning itself is an elaborate procedure which is discussed and shown. The shear interferometer patterns are shown with out any theory.

Planetary Defense is a complex problem, not well understood by policy makers and the general public. The recent Chelyabinsk incident in Russia created temporary international attention but has failed to effectively stimulate public action. The lack of long-term attention to cosmic hazards has resulted in limited funding to defend our planet. Hence, it is hard to realistically address this challenge and achieve the high test and operational readiness needed for an effective Planetary Defense strategy. To address this problem, we have created a set of recommendations for the development of a Planetary Defense Program, for the purpose of contributing to the protection of Earth from asteroids and comets. The SSP15 READI Project focused on threats for which there is only a short-term warning, specifically a warning of two years or less from detection of the object to impact. We have provided recommendations in five areas of Planetary Defense including detection and tracking, deflection techniques, global collaboration, outreach and education, and evacuation and recovery. We have applied this set of recommendations in a narrative scenario to make our report more impactful and engaging. We contrast optimistic and pessimistic outcomes for a comet threat, differing from each other in terms of the level of readiness achieved during the years leading up to the discovery of the threat. In our optimistic scenario, the deflection system has achieved high test and operational readiness. The world’s governments have realized the importance of being prepared against cosmic hazards and put in place all of the necessary measures for a successful defense, leading to a positive deflection of the comet. In contrast, in the pessimistic scenario no preparation is done before the detection, and the comet strikes a heavily populated area releasing energy equivalent to 80 times the most powerful nuclear bomb ever detonated. The recommendations that we have identified in this report constitute a roadmap to avoid this horrible outcome, and we believe they should be taken seriously and swiftly implemented.

The book includes the best-known techniques developed on the basis of the analysis of Russian and international clinical experience that were proven effective by international criteria and were approved by the Russian professional community (Low level laser therapy in treatment and rehabilitation and prevention programs: clinical recommendations. Moscow, 2015). These techniques have been adapted for the Matrix and LASMIK laser physiotherapeutic devices, enabling to implement virtually all methods of laser intervention with maximum efficiency, aside from those presented in this publication.

For more information on the methodology of modern low level laser therapy refer to a special series “Effective Laser Therapy” (read more on our website http://lazmik.ru). The book is intended for physical therapists, specialists in the field of medical rehabilitation and balneology, and doctors of other clinical specialties.

Researchers have now shown that all these lasers can be replaced by a single device called a microcomb. [39] Femtosecond lasers are capable of processing any solid material with high quality and high precision using their ultrafast and ultra-intense characteristics. [38] To create the flying microlaser, the researchers launched laser light into a water-filled hollow core fiber to optically trap the microparticle. Like the materials used to make traditional lasers, the microparticle incorporates a gain medium. [37] Lasers that emit ultrashort pulses of light are critical components of technologies, including communications and industrial processing, and have been central to fundamental Nobel Prize-winning research in physics. [36] A newly developed laser technology has enabled physicists in the Laboratory for Attosecond Physics (jointly run by LMU Munich and the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics) to generate attosecond bursts of high-energy photons of unprecedented intensity. [35] The unique platform, which is referred as a 4-D microscope, combines the sensitivity and high time-resolution of phase imaging with the specificity and high spatial resolution of fluorescence microscopy. [34] The experiment relied on a soliton frequency comb generated in a chip-based optical microresonator made from silicon nitride. [33] This scientific achievement toward more precise control and monitoring of light is highly interesting for miniaturizing optical devices for sensing and signal processing. [32] It may seem like such optical behavior would require bending the rules of physics, but in fact, scientists at MIT, Harvard University, and elsewhere have now demonstrated that photons can indeed be made to interact-an accomplishment that could open a path toward using photons in quantum computing, if not in light sabers. [31] Optical highways for light are at the heart of modern communications. But when it comes to guiding individual blips of light called photons, reliable transit is far less common. [30] Theoretical physicists propose to use negative interference to control heat flow in quantum devices. [29]

Lasers have been considered for space communications since their realization in 1960. Specific advancement were needed in component performance and system engineering particularly for space qualified hardware. Advances in system architecture, data formatting and component technology over the past 3 decades have made laser communications in space not only viable but also an attractive approach into inter-satellite link applications.
Laser communications offer a viable alternative to RF communications for inter-satellite links and other applications here high performance links are a necessity. High data rate, small antenna size, narrow beam designs and narrow field of view are characteristics of laser communications that offer a number of potential advantages for system design.
Most important in space laser communications has been the development of a reliable, high power, single mode laser diode as a directly modulable laser source. This technology advance offers the space laser communication system designer the flexibility to design very light weight , high bandwidth , low-cost communication payloads for satellites whose launch costs are a very strong function of launch weigh. This feature substantially reduces blockage of fields of view of most desirable areas on satellites.

Otomotiv teknolojisi günümüzde oldukça hızlı bir gelişim kaydederken; bu gelişimini bir çok sektörde olduğu gibi artan ihtiyaç ve yenilikçi tasarım taleplerine borçludur.

The human hearing range is from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. However, many animals can hear much higher sound frequencies. Dolphins, especially, have a hearing range up to 300 kHz. To our knowledge, there is no data of a reported wide-band sound frequency earphone to satisfy both humans and animals. Here, we show that graphene earphones, packaged into commercial earphone casings can play sounds ranging from 100 Hz to 50 kHz. By using a one-step laser scribing technology, wafer-scale flexible graphene earphones can be obtained in 25 min. Compared with a normal commercial earphone, the graphene earphone has a wider frequency response (100 Hz to 50 kHz) and a three times lower fluctuation (±10 dB). A nonlinear effect exists in the graphene-generated sound frequency spectrum. This effect could be explained by the DC bias added to the input sine waves which may induce higher harmonics. Our numerical calculations show that the sound frequency emitted by graphene could reach up to 1 MHz. In addition, we have demonstrated that a dog wearing a graphene earphone could also be trained and controlled by 35 kHz sound waves. Our results show that graphene could be widely used to produce earphones for both humans and animals.
