The ion phase-space dynamics in the Coulomb explosion of very large (∼ 10 − 10 atoms) deuterium clusters can be tailored using two consecutive laser pulses with different intensities and an appropriate time delay. For suitable sets of laser parameters (intensities and delay), large-scale shock shells form during the explosion, thus highly increasing the probability of fusion reactions within th...

The commercial 3-D laser scanners provide high quality reconstructions of different surfaces. However if the reconstructed surfaces are made of diffusing materials and/or exhibit self occluding properties then errors are guaranteed in the output reconstruction. In this paper, we try to rectify this situation by fusing the 3-D reconstructions generated by a 3-D laser scanner and other 3-D recons...
