Ultra-strong laser can evaporate substances

-
Romanian scientists have developed a record-breaking 10 megawatt laser, which is equivalent to one-tenth of the energy produced by the sun on Earth. In addition to letting someone or something evaporate, it is mainly used for research purposes. Scientists from three countries will use this super-light laser to study photonuclear properties, cancer medicine, radiation research, and more.
In 2014, the Extremetech website once described a 1 megawatt laser as the "Star of Death", and the laser developed today is ten times stronger. The laser was developed by the European Commission through an “ultra-light infrastructure” (ELI) project with an investment of 850 million euros. The project includes facilities in Romania, Hungary and the Czech Republic. The Romanian laboratory used it to study photonuclear physics. The Hungarian facility experimented with attosecond (1x10-18 seconds) laser pulses. The group of the Czech Republic studied short-pulse secondary sources and particles.


The ELI project plans to build a fourth laser laboratory that is one order of magnitude higher in intensity, but has not yet been selected for it. The shape of a 10 MW laser may not be what most people think. It is located in a sealed chamber and is moved by several vacuum tubes with focusing lenses, which the researchers can't even see. Instead, they read the relevant data from the computer.
Researchers can use this laser to study the effects of supernovae and how heavy metals are formed. As for practical applications, it may help protons treat cancer. It may also help to find ways to handle radioactive waste.

Fiber-laser in-band pumping enables novel 2 µm high-power short-pulse laser

Highly efficient high-power short-pulse lasers in the 2 µm wavelength range based on thulium (Tm3+)-doped materials have a variety of applications that include materials processing (such as polymer-to-metal joining), lidar, mid-infrared optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) that produce wavelengths up to 12 μm, and mid-IR supercontinuum generation. They also would enable direct coherent soft x-ray generation via high-order harmonic generation (HHG). For these applications, a light source with much higher conversion efficiency, average power, pulse energy, and shorter pulse duration is desirable. Now, Masaki Tokurakawa and colleagues at the Institute for Laser Science, University of Electro-Communications (UEC; Tokyo, Japan) have developed novel 2 µm high-power short-pulse lasers based on new technique of fiber-laser in-band pumping at 1611 nm and Kerr-lens mode locking with a new Tm-doped gain medium provided from the University of Hamburg by researcher Christian Kränkel.1, 2
