Laser induced damage in the visible window glass, such as K9 glass, irradiated with Nd:YAG laser operating at 1.064μm wavelength and approximately 10ns pulse duration was investigated in the present experiments. The pulse energy, duration, and beam spot size were taken as changeable factors to study the laser damage results. The experimental arrangement consists of a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser with pulse duration of about 10ns operating at 1.064μm, a lens of 40cm focal length which focus the laser beam onto the sample, a diaphragm to adjust the incident laser energy, a power stabilized He-Ne laser at 0.6328μm providing a diagnostic beam onto the Nd:YAG spot size, a detector which can measure the 0.6328μm reflected from the spot during the pulses beating. Images analysis was conducted at different laser induced damage level. At last, the dynamic damage threshold measuring method was discussed.
We have detected the fluorescence characteristics of two aromatic pollution materials - Zyongyuan Crude oil and anthracene by OMA and obtained their fluorescence time. By analyzing their spectra properties, we find that there is a clear order. Long fluorescence wave occurs earlier than short fluorescence wave. This solution is also analyzed and explained by atomic energy levels theory.
Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) is a promising method for pre-malignant lung tissue diagnosis and it is very important to find effective common diagnosis criteria needed by clinic. In this paper, some differences between normal and cancer lung tissue, such as I444/I414 ratio, main peak width, and integral area were exhibited and discussed. By using the fourth harmonic at 266nm of a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser as an excitation source, Optical Multi-channel Analyzer (OMA) as a detector, laser-induced fluorescence spectra of normal and cancer lung tissue in-vitro were measured. According to the spectra characteristics, three independent diagnosis criteria were obtained and analyzed. The total specificity is above 95%.
A new method of remote sensor of micro amount oil in water by laser induced fluorescence is presented. In the detecting system, a MODEL YAG571C pulsed triplicated laser (Continuum Corporation of U.S.A.) With wavelength of 355nm, pulse duration of 35ps, pulse energy of 3mJ was used as exciting source. Using multi-track spectrograph as the detector, a computer as the data processor, 355nm laser as the master trigger which contact the SRS-DG535 four channel digital delay/pulse generator, we have obtained fluorescence lifetime of some aromatic pollution materials in water and relevant 3D (time-wavelength-fluorescence intensity) fluorescent diagrams. By analyzing the spectra property, it is possible to discriminate the oil pollution types.
A laboratory unit is described that was designed to detect and identify the oil pollutants in the environment by means of the laser-induced fluorescence spectrum analyzer. UV laser beam from third harmonics of the Nd:YAG laser is used to excite target oil. The multichannel detection system consists of a spectrometer, a scientific-grade gated ICCD camera and a digital delay generator. A personal computer is responsible for the control for the whole system as well as for the data processing. In the experiment, the laser beam is directed toward the samples while the return fluorescence signals is collected by a Cassegrainian reflecting telescope. The received signals pass through a bunch of fibers, and go into the input slit of the spectrometer. The fiber bunch includes 19 fibers, one end of which take shape of disc to collect the signals from the telescope while the other arrange in a row to match the spectrometer slit. As the results, the fluorescence emitting spectrum of sample oil under the illumination of laser beam wavelength of 355nm is in the range 400nm to 700nm and center around 520nm. The laser and the receive system are both at a distance 25m from the target since the restriction of the working place. The system has the detection capacity for more distance.
