Contamination and Materials Risk Management in Solid State Laser Systems

Contamination and materials degradation are among the highest risks associated with the deployment of high intensity solid-state laser systems. Although high intensity laser induced optical damage has been studied for decades, the field is still in its infancy. There is little concrete information concerning the relationship of contamination and laser induced optical damage. Further, little inf...

Synthesis & Characterization of CaB4O7 Powder by Solid-State Reaction

The synthesis of calcium tetraborate was investigated in a temperature ranging from 800℃ to 900℃ using the solid-state reaction method. The synthesis was done using ammonium tetraborate tetrahydrate as the source of boron. At temperatures of 800 ℃ and 880 ℃, the mixed phases from different compounds were formed. At the optimum temperature of 840℃, the mixed phase was only composed of meta and t...

Materials for Solid State Lighting

Dramatic improvement in the efficiency of inorganic and organic light emitting diodes (LEDs and OLEDs) within the last decade has made these devices viable future energy efficient replacements for current light sources. However, both technologies must overcome major technical barriers, requiring significant advances in material science, before this goal can be achieved. Attention will be given ...
