laser and its mechanism

چکیده
the summer of 1960 saw the world's first demonstration of an entirely new source of light, which on the other hand, is so concentrated and powerful that it can produce power densities billions of times as inteuse as those on the surface of sun, and, on the other hand, can be controlled so precisely that surgeons use it to perform many delicate operations on the human eye. the beam from this new device can burn holes in steel and set carbon on fire, and it has many remarkable features apart from its powe, it spreads out so little that if it were sent from the earth to the moon it would illuminate an area of the moon's surface only by two miles in diameter. it is very pure, all the light in it being of the same wavelength, and it is coherent which means that all the light waves in the beam are exactly in phase with each other, these last two properties may not seem remarkable-they may not even mean much to most people but to scientists and engineers they are very important for the technological benefits they bring. the name of the new instrument is the laser, from the initials of light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation-the process taking place inside it. in the few years since 1960, the laser has become well known as a weapon in the armory of james bond's enemies and other film villains or heros. more important , it has given rise to a whole new technology. the tremendous expansion in its use is evident from the fact that at the end of 1964 only two hundred eye operations had been carried out anywhere in the world with lasers, while 18 months later one american company could claim that fifty one thousand people had undergone eye surgery with the lasers it had produced.

A review of acrylamide toxicity and its mechanism
Acrylamide (AA) is an important industrial chemical agent that is mainly used in the production of polymers and copolymers. Recently it has been attention because of its production in the diet at high-temperature (>120 ºC) processes such as cooking, frying, toasting, roasting or baking of high carbohydrate foods. According to high exposure to acrylamide, recognition of its toxic effect is ...
متن کاملNumerical and Experimental Study of Effect of Scan Velocity in Laser Forming by Temperature Gradient Mechanism
In this paper the process of laser forming has been investigated using an analytical and an experimental method for three levels scans velocity. A coupled analysis has been performed in ANSYS®. Also in order to prove the predictive methods, experiments on thin sheet metals have been done when a laser of a fair power was used. Before done, experiments were designed with full factorial chosen as ...
متن کاملInfluence of the laser spark generation mechanism on electric and magnetic fields in its vicinity
A laser spark formed by the focused beam of a ns high energy laser in a gas filled interaction chamber can mimic energetic events in the early Earth atmosphere, which are thought to be instrumental in the synthesis of simple chemical compounds, such as some amino acides, [1, 2], which later might have participated in more complex organic syntheses leading to the origin of terrestrial life. Some...
متن کاملLaser acceleration and its future
Laser acceleration is based on the concept to marshal collective fields that may be induced by laser. In order to exceed the material breakdown field by a large factor, we employ the broken-down matter of plasma. While the generated wakefields resemble with the fields in conventional accelerators in their structure (at least qualitatively), it is their extreme accelerating fields that distingui...
متن کاملLaser and Its Hazard Potential
Laser-induced eye injuries have been reported more and more often in the past years, yet the laser is not a modern invention. Based on stimulated emission, the wavelength, energy dose and pulse duration of the laser are the determining factors for its possible hazard potential. The eye, which is the most vulnerable body part for laser radiation, can be affected. As medical treatment is discusse...
