Flexible and stable optical parametric oscillator based laser system for coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering microscopy [PDF]
The characteristics of a stable and flexible laser system based on a synchronously pumped optical parametric oscillator (OPO) is presented. This OPO can offer very stable operation with both approximately 1 ps and approximately 300 fs outputs over a ...

Analysis of hybrid Nd:Yag laser-MAG arc welding processes. [PDF]
In the hybrid laser-arc welding process, a laser beam and an electric arc are coupled in order to combine the advantages of both processes: high welding speed, low thermal load and high depth penetration thanks to the laser; less demanding on joint ...

Capacitive effect in ultrafast laser-induced emission from low conductance diamond nanotips
Single crystal diamond nanotips reveal a new behavior for ultrafast laser-induced electron emission. Under tightly focused femtosecond laser illumination, electron yield shows a saturation with the laser intensity. When the DC bias is sufficient for dark
