Nova (laser) View down Nova's laser bay between two banks of beamlines. The blue boxes contain the amplifiers and their flashtube "pumps", the tubes between the banks of amplifiers are the spatial filters. Nova was a high-power laser built at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in California, United States, in 1984 which conducted ...
The Shiva laser was a powerful 20-beam infrared neodymium glass (silica glass) laser built at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in 1977 for the study of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and long-scale-length laser-plasma interactions. Presumably, the device was named after the multi-armed form of the Hindu god Shiva, due to the laser's ...
By August 2007, 96 laser lines were completed and commissioned, and "A total infrared energy of more than 2.5 megajoules has now been fired. This is more than 40 times what the Nova laser typically operated at the time it was the world's largest laser".
LULI2000. LULI2000 is a high-power laser system dedicated to scientific research. It is located in LULI laboratory, [1] at École Polytechnique [2] in France. The main application of this type of laser is related to the very high energy fluxes obtained after focusing onto tiny focal spots, from micrometers to hundreds of micrometers in diameter.
Extreme Light Infrastructure. The Extreme Light Infrastructure ( ELI ERIC) is a research organization with the world's largest collection of high power-lasers. [1] ELI operates several high-power, high-repetition-rate laser systems which enable the research of physical, chemical, materials, and medical sciences. [2]
The Ti:sapphire crystal is the bright red light source on the left. The green light is from the pump diode. Titanium-sapphire lasers (also known as Ti:sapphire lasers, Ti:Al2O3 lasers or Ti:sapphs) are tunable lasers which emit red and near-infrared light in the range from 650 to 1100 nanometers. These lasers are mainly used in scientific ...
Er:glass laser. An Er:glass laser (erbium-doped glass laser) is a solid-state laser whose active laser medium is erbium -doped glass. Er:glass lasers emit light with wavelengths in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum, often in the range of 1530-1560 nanometers. [1]
Laser rods (from left to right): Ruby, alexandrite, Er:YAG, Nd:YAG. A solid-state laser is a laser that uses a gain medium that is a solid, rather than a liquid as in dye lasers or a gas as in gas lasers. [1] Semiconductor -based lasers are also in the solid state, but are generally considered as a separate class from solid-state lasers, called ...
