Author:Koen, W; Jacobs, Cobus; Bollig, C; Strauss, Hencharl J; Esser, MJD; Botha, LRDate:Jun 2014An optically pumped tunable HBr laser has been demonstrated for the first time. The pump source was a single-frequency Ho:YLF laser and amplifier system, which was locked to the 2064 nm absorption line of HBr. Laser oscillation was demonstrated ...Read more
Author:Koen, W; Jacobs, Cobus; Collett, ODate:Jul 2013Laser sources emitting in the 2 micron region is of particular interest for applications in medicine, remote sensing (LIDAR) and directed infra-red countermeasures. In addition, they are also desirable pump sources for efficient optical ...Read more
Author:Kotze, FJ; Strydom, CA; Du Plessis, A; Dlamini, TLDate:Mar 2010The direct excitation of CO2 using fast (nanosecond) and ultrafast (femtosecond) pulsed lasers was investigated. A gas reaction cell was used to excite CO2 in a 50 : 50 mixture of CO2 and CH4 using nano- and femtosecond laser systems, to ...Read more
