  2. Laser safety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_safety

    Laser radiation safety is the safe design, use and implementation of lasers to minimize the risk of laser accidents, especially those involving eye injuries. Since even relatively small amounts of laser light can lead to permanent eye injuries, the sale and usage of lasers is typically subject to government regulations.

  3. Relative intensity noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_intensity_noise

    Hence, when the signal to noise ratio (SNR) is limited by RIN, it does not depend on laser power. In contrast, when SNR is limited by shot noise, it improves with increasing laser power. RIN typically peaks at the relaxation oscillation frequency of the laser then falls off at higher frequencies until it converges to the shot noise level.

  4. ALPHA experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALPHA_experiment

    The Antihydrogen Laser Physics Apparatus (ALPHA), also known as AD-5, is an experiment at CERN's Antiproton Decelerator, designed to trap antihydrogen in a magnetic trap in order to study its atomic spectra. The ultimate goal of the experiment is to test CPT symmetry through comparing the respective spectra of hydrogen and antihydrogen. [1]

  5. Laser damage threshold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_damage_threshold

    The laser damage threshold (LDT) or laser induced damage threshold (LIDT) is the limit at which an optic or material will be damaged by a laser given the fluence (energy per area), intensity (power per area), and wavelength. LDT values are relevant to both transmissive and reflective optical elements and in applications where the laser induced ...

  6. List of laser types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_laser_types

    Laser types with distinct laser lines are shown above the wavelength bar, while below are shown lasers that can emit in a wavelength range. The height of the lines and bars gives an indication of the maximal power/pulse energy commercially available, while the color codifies the type of laser material (see the figure description for details).

  7. Amplified spontaneous emission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amplified_spontaneous_emission

    ASE is produced when a laser gain medium is pumped to produce a population inversion. Feedback of the ASE by the laser's optical cavity may produce laser operation if the lasing threshold is reached. Excess ASE is an unwanted effect in lasers, since it is not coherent, and limits the maximum gain that can be achieved in the gain medium. ASE ...

    General Hospital just bid goodbye to a major character.. During the Friday, Dec. 13 episode, fan-favorite Dex Heller, played by Evan Hofer, met his demise. Dex had been expected to make a full ...

  9. Magneto-optical trap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magneto-optical_trap

    The lasers needed for the magneto-optical trapping of rubidium 85: (a) & (b) show the absorption (red detuned to the dotted line) and spontaneous emission cycle, (c) & (d) are forbidden transitions, (e) shows that if the cooling laser excites an atom to the = state, it is allowed to decay to the "dark" lower hyperfine, F=2 state, which would ...
