Journal ArticleDOI
Electrooptic prepulse suppression for fusion laser systems
TL;DR: In this article, an effective electrooptic prepulse suppression technique with particular applicability to fusion laser systems is described, where three optically timed Pockels cells in series have a contrast of 109.
Book ChapterDOI
Subpicosecond Photoconductivity in III-V Compound Semiconductors Using Low Temperature MBE Growth Techniques
TL;DR: In this article, the authors characterized the ultrashort carrier lifetimes of III-V semiconductors by photoconductive switching and time-resolved reflectivity measurements, and showed that the growth of semiconductor epitaxial growth at very low temperatures results in ultra-short carrier lifetime.
Book ChapterDOI
Femtosecond Lasers for Ultra-Accurate Surgery: Application to Corneal Surgery
TL;DR: Refractive corneal surgical procedures utilizing amplified femtosecond laser pulses from a reliable and compact femtosescond laser system suited for medical applications are investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The XCAN collaboration program between the Ecole Polytechnique and Thales aims at developing a laser system based on the coherent combination of several tens of laser beams produced through a network of amplifying optical fibers as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long range, high resolution laser radar
TL;DR: In this paper, a high energy, chirped pulse laser was used to demonstrate long range, high resolution radar, and upon compression sub-millimeter surface resolution was obtained, avoiding the nonlinear effects in air that were seen when a picosecond pulse propagated to the target.
