This is not a particularly efficient process; in total, around ~ 1 % of the electricity used to feed the lamps ends up amplifying the beam on most Nd : glass lasers.

"Glass laser " ( or " glaser " ) mice have the same capability of a laser mouse but can also be used on top of mirror or transparent glass far better.
13.
The laser peening process originated with high energy, Nd-glass lasers producing pulse energies up to 50 J ( more commonly 5 to 40 J ) with pulse durations of 8 to 25 ns.
14.
The "'Janus laser "'was a ( then considered high power ) two beam infrared neodymium doped silica glass laser built at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in 1974 for the study of inertial confinement fusion.
15.
The infrared light generated by the Nd : glass lasers was found to interact very strongly with the electrons in the plasma created during the initial heating through the process of stimulated Raman scattering.
16.
The indices of refraction of glass laser hosts may be varied between approximately 1.5 and 2.0, and both the temperature coefficient of n and the strain-optical coefficient may be tailored by altering the chemical composition.
17.
The laser liquids prepared by this technique emits at the same wavelength of 1.064 micrometres and possess properties, such as high gain and sharpness of the emission, that are more characteristic of crystalline than Nd-glass lasers.
18.
It was earlier realized that laser energy absorption on a surface scaled favorably with reduced wavelength, but it was believed at that time that the IR generated in the Shiva Nd : glass laser would be sufficient for adequately performing target implosions.
19.
Saturated operation meant that the maximum possible power was extracted from the lasing medium, resulting in the high peak energy of 0.3 mJ . The active medium was samarium plasma produced by irradiating samarium-coated glass with a pulsed infrared Nd-glass laser ( wavelength ~ 1.05 �m ).
20.
The current laser at the UK Atomic Weapons Establishment ( AWE ), the HELEN ( High Energy Laser Embodying Neodymium ) 1-terawatt neodymium-glass laser, can access the midpoints of pressure and temperature regions and is used to acquire data for modeling on how density, temperature, and pressure interact inside warheads.
