The Transparent Laser
The dream of each laser developer, and not only of each laser scientist: have a transparent laser, where you can look into any components and see e.g.
- optical intensities
- excitation densities of laser-active ions
… and this at any location and time, with arbitrary resolution!
If you had this, finally you could
- fully understand what goes on in your laser,
- quickly identify and fix any problems, and
- make faster progress
while saving a lot of money.
Absolutely marvelous, but only a dream?!?
Good news: such transparent lasers can be made!
