Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleRobust Positioning of Laser Beams Using Proportional Integral Derivative and Based Observer-Feedback ControlKwabena A. Konadu, Sun Yi, Wonchang Choi, Taher Abu-LebdehHigh-precision positioning of laser beams has been a great challenge in industry due to inevitable existence of noise and disturbance. The work presented in this study addresses this problem by employing two different control strategies: Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control and state feedback control with an observer. The control strategies are intended to stabilize the position of a laser beam … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 19 Apr 2013 · 6,868 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDemonstration of Optical Phase-conjugation in Methyl Green Dye-doped Thin FilmT. Geethakrishnan, P. K. PalanisamyOptical Phase-Conjugation (OPC) has been observed in Methyl Green (MG) dye sensitized gelatin films in Degenerate Four-Wave Mixing (DFWM) configuration at 633 nm radiation from a He-Ne laser of total power 35 mW. The mechanism of Phase-Conjugate (PC) wave generation associated with this dye-doped system was discussed. The dependence of the PC wave generation on the incident angle between the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 6,783 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSuppression of Instabilities and Stochastic Pulsation at Laser-Plasma Interaction by Beam SmoothingFrederick Osman, Heinrich HoraThe key problem of direct drive laser fusion is the appearance of parametric instabilities, stochastic pulsation, self-focusing (filamentation) and other anomalies. During the long years studies, the empirical and intuitively developed methods for smoothing of the laser beam were rather successful but a transparent understanding of the physics has still to be found. The first theory how the instabilities are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 6,796 accessesView PDF Cite
