Wavelengths of commercially available lasers. Laser types with distinct laser lines are shown above the wavelength bar, while below are shown lasers that can emit in a wavelength range. The height of the lines and bars gives an indication of the maximal power/pulse energy commercially available, while the color codifies the type of laser material
- mahirsaid 7mo agoThat's a better break down thank you.
- jacquesm 7mo agoFunny, I posted the same link yesterday. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46968701 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46968701
- mahirsaid 7mo agoIt is, I've also seen the same link before many years ago. It has been updated a few but relatively the same elements and experiments used still.
- nextaccountic 7mo agoWhy is there no xray or gamma ray lasers?
- GJim 7mo agoTry reflecting X-rays or gamma rays and you will understand why.
- nextaccountic 7mo agoUhh.. can you be more specific? I think it's possible to reflect xrays https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_reflectivity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_reflectivity https://x-ray-optics.de/index.php/en/physics/reflection https://x-ray-optics.de/index.php/en/physics/reflection
- piva00 7mo agoReflecting X-rays is exactly what's needed for EUV litography, Hiroo Kinoshita had to fight quite a bit to have his research taken seriously back in the days but it's the foundation to how EUV lithography works.
