Laser beamsWe report on a series of experiments, using the COMET picosecond facility, designed to characterize and develop different x-ray laser sources. This work encompasses collisional pumping of slab and gas puff targets.Smith, R. FLawrence Livermore National Lab.Dunn, JNilsen, J
Experimental Methods Various experimental methods were used to get accurate qualitative and quantitative data to be compared with numerical results. In order to characterize the droplets ejected from the hemispherical baffle of the Updraft, its plastic cover was cut so that laser beams ...
BRUSSELS, Oct. 1, 2021 — Ten small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have been named winners of the EU-funded PULSATE project’s first Technology Transfer Experiments. PULSATE’s open call for consortia sought companies and their proposals that could demonstrate an effective adoption of laser solution...
which is used as force-transducer. Tip movements are usually monitored by an optical method, where a laser beam is focused on the back of the cantilever and is reflected to a position-sensitive detector (PSD):
In contrast to these older techniques, BOS uses correlation techniques on a background dot pattern to quantitatively characterize compressible and thermal flows with good spatial and temporal resolution. The main advantages of this technique, the experimental simplicity and the robustness of correlation-...
Correspondingly, extensive studies have been carried out to characterize their mechanical properties [3–9], such as compression, shearing, bending and blast resistance, as well as vibration damping. With pressing need for vibration and sound suppression, damping has attracted increasing attention. Show...
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was performed on both materials to characterize their stress-free phase transformation behavior as shown in Fig. 1. To minimize specimen heating and stress-induced phase transformation, specimens (21.4 mg for rod, and 35.4 mg for tube) were cut at a slow ...
In our experiments, rubidium atoms are prepared in a magneto-optical trap and later, after switching off the trapping fields, Faraday rotation of a weak probe beam is used to characterize atomic states prepared by application of appropriate light pulses and external magnetic fields. We discuss the...
70—have already provided strong limits on the Diósi-Penrose model71. In this context, also optomechanical experiments are of particular relevance41,53,54,72,73,74,75,76. They are typically used to characterize noise77,78,79, and thus possibly discriminate between standard and non-standard ...
A project to investigate space environment effects on specific materials with interest to remote sensing was initiated in 2016. The goal of the project is to better characterize changes in the optical properties of polymers found in multi-layered spacecraft insulation (MLI) induced by electron bombar...
