The field of microplasmas gained recognition as a well-defined area of research and
application within the larger field of plasma science and technology about 20 years ago …

Abstract Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics published the first Plasma Roadmap in 2012
consisting of the individual perspectives of 16 leading experts in the various sub-fields of low …

Optically pumped rare gas lasers are being investigated as potential high-energy, high
beam quality systems. The lasing medium consists of rare gas atoms (Rg= Ne, Ar, Kr, or Xe) …

Simulations of a pulsed direct current discharge are performed for a 7% argon in helium
mixture at a pressure of 270 Torr using both zero-and one-dimensional models. Kinetics of …

As a new kind of optically pumped gaseous lasers, diode pumped metastable rare gas
lasers (OPRGLs) show potential in high power operation. In this paper, a multi-level rate …

We described a wavelength locked and spectral narrowed high-power diode laser with a
Faraday anomalous dispersion optical filter (FADOF). By an external cavity with a^ 85Rb …

Optically pumped rare gas lasers have the potential for scaling to high-power cw systems
with good beam quality. Metastable atoms of heavier rare gases that are the lasing species …

Optically pumped rare gas lasers have the potential for scaling to output powers above the
kW level. In these devices, electrical discharges through He/Rg mixtures (Rg= Ne, Ar, Kr and …

Since the first laser was invented, the pursuit of high-energy lasers (HELs) has always been
enthusiastic. The first revolution of HELs was pushed by the fusion of laser and aerospace in …

Simulations of an α-mode radio frequency dielectric barrier discharge are performed for
varying mixtures of argon and helium at pressures ranging from 200 to 500 Torr using both …
