Three laser experiments today: laser-induced electroless copper plating, laser-assisted electroplating on stainless steel, and laser-induced chemical liquid phase deposition onto glass. Whoo! I'm ...

Hobbyist-grade laser cutters can be a little restrictive as to the types and thicknesses of materials that they can cut. We’re usually talking about CO 2 and diode-based machines here, and if you want ...

As anyone who has used an FDM printer can tell you, it’s certainly not the magical replicator it’s often made out to be. The limitations of the platform are numerous — ranging ...

ABSTRACT A sodium laser guide star (LGS) experiment for astronomical adaptive optics (AO) using a diode‐laser pumped sum‐frequency laser is described. Results of the LGS experiment from 1997 October ...

Ultraviolet laser diodes (UV-LDs) and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with GaN, AlGaN or AlGaInN active layers can emit light at a wavelength shorter than 365 nm due to GaN having a large bandgap energy ...
