Nanosecond (ns) laser pulses are modulated by seeding electrons on the laser beam path.
The seed-electrons are from auxiliary ns-laser-induced breakdown (ALIB), and the ALIB is …

This investigation examines ignition characteristics of various fuel-air mixtures using both
single and dual-pulse laser plasmas building off our previous work. A single pulse laser …
