Combustion is one of the most dominant energy conversion processes used in all areas of
human life, but global concerns over exhaust gas pollution and greenhouse gas emission …

A passively Q-switched Nd: YAG/Cr^ 4+: YAG micro-laser with three-beam output was
realized. A single active laser source made of a composite, all-ceramics Nd: YAG/Cr^ 4+ …

A high-brightness diode end-pumped Nd: YAG microchip laser, passively Q-switched by a
Cr^ 4+: YAG saturable absorber (SA), has been developed. The dependences of pulse …

The compact (electric spark plug size), diode-pumped, passively Q-switched Nd: YAG/Cr 4+:
YAG microlaser was developed for ignition of engines. Output energy of 2.7 mJ per pulse …

Transparent laser ceramics have been demonstrated to offer tremendous processing and
design advantages in the diode-pumped solid-state laser field. Successfully developed …

Megawatt peak power, giant pulse microchip lasers are attractive for wavelength conversion,
provided their output is linearly polarized. We use a [110] cut Cr^ 4+: YAG for passively Q …

We report on the development of a high-peak-power, single-longitudinal-mode and tunable
injection-seeded terahertz-wave parametric generator using MgO: LiNbO_3, which operates …

Passive Q-switching performance was found to be greatly improved by use of a new Nd-
doped mixed vanadate crystal Nd: Gd_0. 64Y_0. 36VO_4 compared with that achieved with …

Laser sparks that were built with high-peak power passively Q-switched Nd: YAG/Cr^ 4+:
YAG lasers have been used to operate a Renault automobile engine. The design of such a …

In this work we report on the characteristics of a passively Q-switched Nd: YAG/Cr 4+: YAG
laser with four beams, developed for studies on the laser ignition of different combustible …
