Scanning diffractometer for the rapid analysis of microparticles and biological cells
(1979-05-01)
A laser diffractometer is described which employs a novel scanned array of optical light guides to record the angular intensity variation of light scattered radially by a particle throughout an arc of 180° in approximately ...

Detection of a bright ridge in the 2.2 MU-M emission of M82
(1979)
Photometric scans through the central region of M82 with a resolution of 6 arcsec reveal that the 2.2-micron emission source has a compact ridge structure which is approximately aligned + or - 10 deg with the major axis ...
High-speed scanning laser diffractometer
(1979)
A high-speed laser diffractometer is described which employs a novel scanned array or optical light guides to record the angular intensity variation of light scattered radially by a particle throughout an arc of 180 degrees ...
Hatfield near-infrared polarimeter
(1978)
The design of the Hatfield Polytechnic Observatory's near-infrared (IJHKLM) polarimeter is described and its performance iliustrated by some representative observations on bright standard stars. Preliminary measurements ...
Direct measurement of gain recovery in a saturated Nd-glass amplifier
(1978)
The temporal dependence of the gain recovery in a Nd-silicate glass amplifier has been directly observed after the passage of a short intense saturating laser pulse. The gain recovery time constant measured for ED-2 glass ...
Optical rise-time measurements on KD*P transmission-line Pockels cells
(1978)
A technique has been developed for determining the optical-transmission rise times of subnanosecond switching KD*P electro-optic modulators. Optical streak-camera data with 15-psec overall resolution and 30-psec resolution ...
Short-pulse oscillator for SHIVA
(1978)
An actively mode-locked and Q-switched Nd:YAG laser has been developed with pulse widths adjustable from ~100 ps to 1 ns, stability better than ±5%, and a single pulse energy of more than 200 μJ over this range
Shaping pulses for fusion
(1977-06-01)
Two approaches to the creating of pulse-shaping techniques that meet the requirements associated with operation of a large fusion laser are examined. These techniques are passive pulse-shaping with double-etalone devices ...
