Proceedings ArticleDOI
Optically addressed liquid crystal light valves for adaptive control of amplitude and phase of laser beam
Brigitte Loiseaux,Jean-Pierre Huignard,Jean-Christophe Chanteloup,Arnold Migus,Gerard Mourou +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, an adaptive and programmable module allowing the spatial control of the beam amplitude and the correction of the phase distortions due to the optical components and the gain media of the laser chain is presented.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Traveling-wave electro-optic modulator with a novel broadband velocity-matching structure
TL;DR: In this article, a novel GaAs electro-optic modulator that utilizes a resonant free, broadband, and velocity matching in order to achieve a reduced half-wave voltage and improved optical confinements is described.
Journal Article
Setup for femtosecond laser corneal surgery
Olivier Albert,D. Donate,J.-P. Colliac,P. Tubelis,P. Sabatier,Gerard Mourou,Carole Burillon,Y. Pouliquen,Jean-Marc Legeais +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a microsurgery experimental system using glass femtosecond laser is presented, which is coupled with a confocal microscopy observation system to investigate intrastromal effects of the femto-cond laser.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrafast Laser Cleaning of Daguerreotypes
Michael J. Abere,Ryan D. Murphy,Bianca Jackson,Gerard Mourou,Michel Menu,John F. Mansfield,Steven M. Yalisove +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, an ultrafast laser irradiation method for the removal of corrosion from Daguerreotypes without detrimentally affecting image quality has been developed, where the Ti:Sapphire 150 fs laser pulses used in this study are focused to a beam diameter of 60 μm.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
High-dynamic-range Measurement Of Laser Pulse Contrast By Use Of A Plasmashuttered Jitter-free Streak Camera
TL;DR: In this article, a Tisapphire amplifier system was proposed to achieve a peak power of 0.125 TW, at 1-kHz repetition rate, with 2.5 mJ of energy, in a 20-fs pulse duration.
