Intra-cavity optical modulators: Optical shutters
Optical-mechanical shutter with the prism of total internal reflection. In this shutter a prism BР-1800 is used, which is revolved on the axis of high speed electric motor. The ribs of prism are perpendicular to the axis of rotation more...
Extra-cavity optical devices of control of laser beam in time: Acousto-optic modulators
Principle of work of acousto-optic (AO) modulator is based on excitation in the AO environment of running bulk acoustic wave (RBAW) and creation of phase diffraction grating, on which the diffraction of optical radiation appears. more...Controlling Optical Radiation in Time: Optical Modulators
Optical modulator is the device of control of optical radiations in time. more...Hot quanta from the cold water: liquid dye lasers
The active environment of dye laser includes the organic matter dissolved in a liquid solvent. The optical pumping of solution is executed with the help of other laser or pulsed lamp. Hereupon population inversion of active environment appears this creates at certain terms the emission of laser radiations. more...Perspectives of application of gas laser technologies in the solar power systems of production and transportation of energy
The gas laser was the first continuous-light laser. Gas lasers using many gases have been built and used for many purposes. The purpose of the article is the analysis of the possibility of application of gas laser technologies in the solar power systems of production and transportation of energy. more...Stimulated emission in semiconductor laser structures – a step to the new high effective coherent PV solar cells
Today’s semiconductor lasers radiate in a red and near infrared (IR) ranges of light-spectrum and have high energy effectiveness about 50%. The high levels of output power are attained, which allow replacing traditional lasers in a row of applications. more...In The News
"Deploy the technologies we have: Message from the Secretary of US Department of Energy Steven Chu accompanying 2011 Strategic Plan – Discovery of America by Queltanews"Drive Energy Efficiency to Reduce Demand Growth. Improvements in energy efficiency are among the most cost-effective and immediate steps toward our national energy goals. However, economy-wide efficiency can be achieved only through aggregated improvement of individual buildings, facilities, vehicles, and equipment
