Lasers - Applications in Science and Industry

Description

InTech. 2011. 286 p.The book starts with basic overview of physical phenomena on laser-matter interaction. Then it is followed by presentation of a number of laser applications in the nano-particles and thin films production, materials examination for industry, biological applications (in-vitro fertilization,tissue ablation) and long-range detection issues by LIDARs.Contents PrefaceThin Films and Nanostructures Nanoparticles and Nanostructures Fabricated Using Femtosecond Laser Pulses Production of Optical Coatings Resistant to Damage by Petawatt Class Laser Pulses Effect of Pulse Laser Duration and Shape on PLD Thin Films Morphology and Structure Laser Pulse Patterning on Phase Change Thin Films Laser Patterning Utilizing Masked Buffer LayerLaser-Matter Interaction Interaction Between Pulsed Laser and Materials Pulse Laser Ablation by Reflection of Laser Pulse at Interface of Transparent Materials Pulsed-Laser Ablation of Au Foil in Primary Alcohols Influenced by Direct Current Application of Pulsed Laser Fabrication in Localized Corrosion ResearchBiological Applications Laser Pulse Application in IVF Dynamic Analysis of Laser Ablation of Biological Tissue by Optical Coherence Tomography Polarization Detection of Molecular Alignment Using Femtosecond Laser PulseОther Applications Deconvolution of Long-Pulse Lidar Profiles
