Optical communication systems require optoelectronic devices and components that operate at a wavelength of 1.5 plm, where standard optical fibers have a minimum transmission loss. Investigating the performance of these devices and understanding the underlying physics requires good sources at this wavelength. In particular, the investigation of their ultrafast nonlinear response, which will ult...

This report provides a informal survey of laser distance measurement. Applications of laser range finding are briefly discussed and various techniques for laser ranging such as active laser triangulation, pulsed time-of-flight (TOF), phase shift, FMCW, and correlation are described.

The pulsed time-of-flight (TOF) laser distance measurement method is based on measurement of the transit time of a short laser pulse (typically 3-4 ns) to an optically visible target and back to the receiver. This method is considered to be a potential solution for applications such as the measurement of levels and geometrical shapes in silos and containers, the positioning of tools and vehicle...

Introduction: In this study, we explore in detail cell-specific targeting efficacy of nano-photo-thermal therapy (NPTT) method and the resulting responses that are induced by variable laser intensities and exposure times in cancer cells to induce selective apoptosis. We delineate the synthesis of a high-yielding synthetic F-AuNPs by tailoring the surface of gold nanoparticles ...

The laser triangulation method is one of the most advanced methods for large inner diameter measurement. Our research group proposed a kind of inner diameter measuring device that is principally composed of three laser displacement sensors known to be fixed in the same plane measurement position. It is necessary to calibrate the direction of the laser beams that are emitted by laser displacemen...

This thesis describes the development of high bandwidth (~1 GHz) TOF (time-of-flight) laser range finder techniques for industrial measurement applications in the measurement range of zero to a few dozen metres to diffusely reflecting targets. The main goal has been to improve single-shot precision to mm-level in order to shorten the measurement result acquisition time. A TOF laser range finder...
