Shaping the Amplitude and Phase of Laser Beams by Using a Phase-only Spatial Light Modulator
Published on: January 28, 2019
Abstract:
The Ti: Sapphire laser generation was investigated under the pumping by the spots with a different distribution of the pump fluence. We found that the characteristics obtained under pumping by the small-scale spatially modulated 532 nm light are indicative of intracavity light scattering. This scattering can be accounted for by pump light-induced optical nonuniformities in the Ti:Sapphire crystal. The scattering increases the laser angular divergence, but, at the same time, produces a coupling, required for the synchronization of the generation over the laser aperture. The appearance of the nonuniformities under the pumping is explained by well-known RIC-effect.

ATP Driven Pumps II: P-type Pumps
A typical P-type pump has three cytosolic domains: nucleotide-binding (N), phosphorylation (P), and activator (A) domains. These domains are connected to the membrane-spanning helices by short amino acid segments. ATP hydrolysis and covalent phosphoenzyme intermediate formation are crucial parts of the catalytic cycle. At the highly...
Pumped Concrete
For direct-acting pumps, the concrete enters the pump via the inlet valve under the action of gravity and suction created by the movement of the piston. This concrete is then forced into the pipeline and out through the outlet valve by the forward movement...
