Tunability has added an important dimension to a variety of laser devices and led to new
systems and applications. From laser spectroscopy to Bose-Einstein condensation, the one …

A high-performance airborne water vapor differential absorption lidar has been developed
during the past years. This system uses a four-wavelength/three-absorption line …

Laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) is one of the prominent energy efficient techniques to
generate high potential gradient (∼ GeV/m) to accelerate electrons. The phenomenon of …

The design of a 50 Hz single longitudinal mode, diode-pumped and frequency-tripled Nd:
YAG master oscillator power amplifier is described, and the first measurements of output …

We present a frequency metrology study on the lowest rotational levels of the hydrogen EF Σ
g+ 1← X Σ g+ 1 (0, 0) two-photon transition near 202 nm. For this purpose, the fourth …

We demonstrate an injection-seeded thin-disk Yb: YAG laser at 1030 nm, stabilized by the
Pound-Drever-Hall (PDH) method. We modified the PDH scheme to obtain an error signal …

A narrow-band tunable injection-seeded pulsed titanium: sapphire laser system has been
developed for application in high-resolution spectroscopic studies at the fundamental …

We have performed high-precision spectroscopy on the 3s21S→ 3s3p 1P first resonance
line of Mg i at 285 nm. This measurement is motivated by the recent studies comparing …

A series of simple and low-cost devices for switching, amplifying, and chirping diode lasers
based on current modulation are presented. Direct modulation of diode laser currents is …

The acronym LIDAR stands for light detection and ranging, an optical analog of RADAR
(radio detection and ranging). The conventional version of LIDAR requires a laser …
