AAA maps were used in the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition where more than 13, 000 full-color AAA map images were provided on an optical laser disc for demonstration of an in-car navigation device in the Chrysler Pavilion.

Shares in the maker of optical laser surgery devices hit an all-time low of 8 3 / 16, down 11 / 16 _ less than one fourth the 36 1 / 4 price the company commanded last December.

"One of the holy grails is a tunable optical laser, " said Sean Foote, a partner at Labrador Ventures, a venture firm based in Palo Alto, Calif ., sounding like an 8-year-old describing the advent of the Nickelodeon cable channel.
24.
Simply put, Foote said, if optical lasers were tunable, meaning they could be programmed to send different colors of light down fiber optic networks, then a single laser could replace many individually programmed lasers, reducing costs for network operators and users.

Lex was able to generate electric current to manipulate electronic systems or produce high-voltage discharges; now depowered, Sentinel mech gives him extraordinary size and strength, reinforced armor plating, pulsar beams, optical lasers, non-lethal smoke bombs, capture net ordnance and boot rockets.

However, just as when the optical laser was invented 40 years ago, the potential applications of an atom laser may not yet be apparent, said Phillips, a Nobel laureate who works for the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

The " photolith film " it is sometimes recorded by an optical laser process on an " imagesetter " machine, coming from a digital file, or by a photographic process in a contact copier, if a physical copy of the original already exist.

"Even though we call it a laser, the kinds of applications you'll see for an atom laser will be very different than those for the optical laser, " said Michael Andrews, an MIT graduate student in physics who co-authored the research paper describing the work, being published today in Physical Review Letters.

Nonlinearities can result in both spatial and temporal harmonics in the near field at the nucleus, opening the range of possibilities for rapid transfer from the storage state to the upper lasing state using other kinds of triads involving transition energies at multiples of the optical laser quantum energy and at higher multipolarities.

Baldwin, along with GE colleagues, developed ideas for nuclear radiation analogues of the optical laser, now known as the gamma-ray laser, or J . C . Solem of Los Alamos, opening an entirely new field of physics and making bold, creative attempts to bring the concept to fruition ( 1963 ), ( 1965 ), ( 1975 ).
