Development of an all-solid-state air-cooled high-power blue diode laser for metal processing
Summary by Johann Toudert

Besides emitting light, solid-state lasers generate heat. This phenomenon is not only an issue because it results in...

Optics Express
Intra-oscillator high harmonic source reaching 100-eV photon energy
Summary by Eric Constant

Intra cavity high order harmonic generation is highly attractive as it offers coherent XUV light sources with high...
