Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From among the areas of excimer laser development at Los Alamos two are selected for further discussion: ultra-high brightness excimer laser systems and discharge-pumped XeF(C.-->.A) lasers operating in the blue-green portion of the spectrum. Two different high brightness systems are described. One is based on small-aperture KrF amplifiers, while the other is based on a large-aperture XeCl amplifier. The XeF(C.-->.A) laser is tunable from 435 to 525 nm, and may one day become a viable alternative to pulsed dye lasers for many applications. 14 refs., 4 figs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los Alamos has a long history of research in laser technology, and over the past few years we have begun to build a program directing some of that technology to a variety of applications in biology and medicine. As examples, two of these activities will be described in this manuscript: the use of a laser interferometer to measure the microwave absorption spectrum of DNA, and spectral measurements of the secondary light produced during laser corneal ablation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current research in excimer laser technology at Los Alamos progresses in two major areas: in the Bright Source program, the development of ultra-high brightness (sub-picosecond) laser systems, based on discharge-pumped excimer laser amplifiers, continues. Recently we have completed rigorous measurements of the saturation parameter for ultra-short pulses. In the laser fusion program, implementation of the large KrF laser fusion amplifiers have been accompanied by numerous studies of the laser physics and kinetics of large e-beam pumped devices.

Book excerpt: The science and technology of violet and ultraviolet lasers has matured rapidly in the last five years. High average power lasers have been demonstrated and several commercial product lines are now available. Single pulse devices have successfully demonstrated large output energies in well controlled beams. In this presentation we will review some of the current laser development programs in progress at Los Alamos. We will describe research in both discharge pumped lasers and E-beam pumped lasers and we will review methods of wavelength conversion in these devices. Finally we will discuss the current understanding of laser induced damage to optical components in the uv.

Book excerpt: The investigation of many interesting physical phenomena in nature requires the generation of high-energy-density fields. To produce energy densities exceeding 107 J/cm3 requires focusing a very powerful, very bright, short pulse laser. This talk will present a review of the physics that will be investigated with one such laser system, will describe the laser used, will describe the laser diagnostics, and will describe the physics diagnostics. The talk will emphasize the areas of research that will help the diagnostics of different aspects of these bright sources, and their interactions, especially the diagnostics of hot small volumes in picosecond time scales. 15 refs., 7 figs.

Book excerpt: Laser-driven accelerator schemes place unique demands on the specifications of the invoked laser systems. We review the laser requirements for driving open microstructures. The specific advantages and disadvantages that lasers bring to this scheme are listed, and the appropriateness and scalabitity of existing technology is discussed. Finally we review the plans and status for the laser activities of the Brookhaven/Los Alamos collaboration on a proof-of-principle experiment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Laser Safety Program at the Los Alamos National Laboratory was formalized in April, 1991, with the publication of a document, {open_quotes}Lasers, {close_quotes} modeled on the ANSIZ136.1 standard. This program has received such wide acceptance by the laser community and line managers that the original Laser Safety Program document has become a Laboratory standard on lasers. As a benchmark of the success of this program is that the Laboratory has experienced no disabling eye injuries because of laser operations since July, 1990, to be compared with a disabling laser eye injury that used to average one every eighteen months prior to the time the formal program was established. The Laboratory Laser Safety Program and program elements will be presented and discussed.
