Abstract:The results of development of two versions of the intracavity laser refractometry in reflection (ILRR) are reviewed in this paper. The ILRR method is based on the use of the properties of two-mode lasers with broken cavity and allows the precise refractive investigations of turbid media to be fulfilled in real time. The ILRR applications are primarily planed to biological liquids study. The results of blood refractometry are offered.A fragment of the sitall monobloc three-mirror laser
Abstract:The results of an in-situ plume-laser interaction measurement during welding of mild steel with a 5 kW ytterbium fiber laser are reported. A measurement of the attenuation of probe laser beam passing through the plume has allowed to estimate the plume characteristics like the size of the extinction area and the spatial distribution of the extinction coefficient. The power loss of the fiber laser radiation propagating through the whole plume length was calculated. Together with a measured temporal characteristics of extinction the result indicates a significant decreasing of the laser radiation stability, which can lead to the formation of the macroscopic welding defects. Verification of the extinction coefficient distribution model with experimental data of the extinction signal depending on the plume height
Abstract:The mode competition in a double-mode diodepumped Nd:YAG laser is studied theoretically and experimentally. In particular, the influence of various laser parameters on the steady-state double-mode regime for parallel and orthogonal polarization of the modes is studied. It is shown that the establishment of steady-state double-mode lasing is accompanied by relaxation oscillations more complicated than for single-mode lasing. It is found that the scanning rate of the cavity modes influences the character of the relaxation oscillations. The value of the double-mode lasing range d as a function of ω 12
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
