Proceedings ArticleDOI
Pulsed terahertz investigation of corroded and mineralized copper alloy historical artifacts
TL;DR: Terahertz pulsed imaging was used to study corroded copper alloy historical artifacts in transmission and reflection as mentioned in this paper, and the stratified layers were investigated and regions of total mineralization were identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrafast response of superconducting transmission lines
James M. Chwalek,Douglas R. Dykaar,John F. Whitaker,Roman Sobolewski,S. Gupta,Thomas Y. Hsiang,Gerard Mourou +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the picosecond transient propagation on normal and superconducting transmission lines and results of a variety of lines that include YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-x/ (YBCO) coplanar lines and a dielectric-matched gold-line structure.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Laser-based intense hard x-ray source for mammography
Liming M. Chen,Patrick Forget,R. Toth,Jean-Claude Kieffer,Andrzej Krol,C.C. Chamberlain,Bixue Hou,John Nees,Gerard Mourou +8 more
TL;DR: Kα conversion efficiency, from laser light to x-rays, was optimized and values as high as 2 x 10-5 have been obtained and in contradiction to conventional mammography the effective x-ray focal spot size and the effective dose remained constant across the field of view.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Ultraprecise medical applications with ultrafast lasers: corneal surgery with femtosecond lasers
Frieder Loesel,Ron M. Kurtz,Christopher Horvath,Samir I. Sayegh,Gerard Mourou,Josef F. Bille,Tibor Juhasz +6 more
TL;DR: The technology is capable to perform a variety of corneal refractive procedures at high precision, offering advantages over current mechanical and laser devices and enabling entirely new approaches for refractive surgery.
External electro-optic probing of millimeter-wave integrated circuits
John F. Whitaker,J. A. Valdmanis,T. A. Jackson,Kul B. Bhasin,Robert R. Romanofsky,Gerard Mourou +5 more
TL;DR: An external, noncontact electrooptic measurement system, designed to operate at the wafer level with conventional wafer probing equipment and without any special circuit preparation, has been developed.
