We investigated high-repetition rate mode-locked operation of a Ti:sapphire laser with SBR. The mode-locked laser setup using a semiconductor saturable Bragg reflector as a saturable absorber is shown. The cavity geometry is designed for high-repetition rate mode-locking pulse generation. We obtained self starting 10.3-ps pulses at a 1.02-GHz repetition rate with 640-mW output power. Autocorrelation traces are shown before and after external dispersion compensation. A pulsewidth as short as 1.6 ps has been obtained after external dispersion compensation.","PeriodicalId":22169,"journal":{"name":"Summaries of papers presented at the Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74811631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The gas-cooled-slab (GCS) cooling technology is unique, as compared to more conventional transverse water cooled rod or zigzag slab designs, in that the cooling and optical extraction will simultaneously occur across the two large faces of the slab. We report here the first results for a gas cooled-slab laser with outputs of up to 2 J. The basic structure of our gas cooled laser consists of the gain medium slab over which gas flows across the two large faces of the slab.","PeriodicalId":22169,"journal":{"name":"Summaries of papers presented at the Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87185973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a patient infected with Hepatitis B (HBV), the infected host cells replicate the entire virus and also the surface protein of the virus, the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). Because the HBsAg is present in greater concentrations than the actual virus in infected blood, it is used as the marker of choice for identifying patients with this disease. The purpose of our experiment was to detect small concentrations of purified HBsAg in a buffered salt solution. Such possibilities could be provided by means of optical spectroscopy which includes laser-induced self-luminescence and Raman spectroscopy. Luminescence spectroscopy under selective laser excitation is a very sensitive method to determine the presence and concentration of proteins in solutions.","PeriodicalId":22169,"journal":{"name":"Summaries of papers presented at the Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79415112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, we demonstrated holographic recording in a 100-micron-thick photopolymer, achieving a surface density of 10 bits//spl mu/m/sup 2/, by recording a combination of peristrophic and angle-multiplexed holograms. We would like to further increase the capacity of this system by storing data at many different locations. One simple implementation of such system would be a holographic 3-D disk, where the disk spins so that holograms stored at different locations on the disk could be accessed. We will use a new multiplexing method (shift multiplexing) that is especially well suited for the holographic disk configuration.","PeriodicalId":22169,"journal":{"name":"Summaries of papers presented at the Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81939806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In summary when an incoming photon is absorbed by the avalanche photodiode (APD) under applied voltage, a localized avalanche of charge carriers is created. The electron avalanche causes localized heating, which alters the local optical properties (index of refraction) of the diode, allowing it to act as a spatial light modulator. Amplitude modulation may be easily achieved by using the front and backsurfaces of the APD to form a Fabry Perot interferometer. This thermo-optic modulation is observed even when a single photon initiates the response.","PeriodicalId":22169,"journal":{"name":"Summaries of papers presented at the Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76791487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
