Magnetic resonance techniques are successfully utilized in a broad range of scientific
disciplines and in various practical applications, with medical magnetic resonance imaging …

The temperature-dependent characteristics of fluorescence of several rare-earth-doped
ceramic phosphors has made these materials the focus of a major effort in the field of …

It is hard to imagine that a narrow, one-way, coherent, moving, amplified beam of light fired
by excited atoms is powerful enough to slice through steel. In 1917, Albert Einstein …

An experimental study of the characteristics of self-focusing damage in single-mode silica
optical fibers is presented. It is found that the process is energy-density dependent. The …

In the quantum version of a Trojan-horse attack, photons are injected into the optical
modules of a quantum key distribution system in an attempt to read information direct from …

A measurement system for quantitative, remote materials analysis has been realised. It is
based on the method of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), utilising an optical …

For medical applications, the choice of a delivery system will be governed by the
characteristics of the laser system on the one hand and the tissue application on the other …

The corrosive environment provided by chlorine ions on the welds of stainless steel dry cask
storage canisters for used nuclear fuel may contribute to the occurrence of stress corrosion …

We show that the classic Raman threshold formula is unsuitable to accurately predict the
onset of Raman scattering in high-power CW double-clad fiber amplifiers. Consequently …

Particulate heavy metals can have severe toxic and carcinogenic effects when inhaled in
higher concentrations. Therefore, it is desirable to establish versatile instruments for a …
