The development of laser–plasma accelerators began in the early 1980s, inspired by the pioneering work of Tajima and Dawson 1. Key to their operation is the fact that unlike the superconducting ...

Essential for anyone studying or working with lasers, Laser Processing of Engineering Materials provides a clear explanation of the underlying principles, including physics, chemistry and materials ...

"The laser beam can be positioned with great accuracy on surfaces, so we can produce significantly smaller microlenses than is possible with previously existing methods," commented Thomas Höche head ...
