| Mike McKerns -- Research -- Wavelength Tunable Laser (1082 words) |
 | To obtain a fluence strong enough to sufficiently characterize the NLO responses of solutions of MTXP complexes, a relatively strong laser such as an Nd:YAG must be used as the light source. |
 | The zero-order diffraction output produced at the grating was reflected off an orthogonally mounted broadband reflective mirror, such that frequency tuning was produced by rotating the grating/mirror corner reflector about the axis perpendicular to the plane of grating dispersion, thus providing unchanged direction of propagation for the output beam. |
 | The coupling of the tunable laser with the semiempirical model for ESA potentially provides not only an understanding of the wavelength-dependent nature of the fitted absorption cross-sections but, under careful analysis of the change in the transmission characteristics with the change in wavelength, an accurate map of the energy-level manifold of the [CH -CdTXP]Cl solution. |
