Spectral Beam Combining (SBC) of fiber lasers provides a simple, robust architecture for high brightness power scaling beyond the limit of a single fiber. We review recent progress in power scaling and describe what we believe is the highest power SB

Elevations from the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) have been used to construct a precise topographic map of the martian north polar region. The northern ice cap has a maximum elevation of 3 kilometers above its surroundings but lies within a 5-k

The transient theory of stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) in optical fibers is used to investigate the effects of weak feedback of an incident broadband laser field. When the linewidth of the laser approaches the Brillouin frequency shift, a weak

We report a master-oscillator/power-amplifier laser system featuring a polarizing and coilable 40-micron-core Yb-doped photonic crystal fiber as the final-stage amplifier. The laser source generates 3.4 ns pulses at a repetition rate 19 kHz, with max

Spectrally Beam Combined fiber laser provide a superior architecture for power scaling laser to high power. We present experimental results where we achieved < 3 kW, M2 = 1.35 with < 39% E-O efficiency by combining 12 individual fiber lasers into a s

We describe our work on Spectral Beam Combining geometries and design implementations using multilayer dielectric gratings. With appropriate designs, power scaling beyond the single fiber limit can be achieved while maintaining near diffraction limit

We have demonstrated and characterized a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser under continuous operation for over 7 billion shots. Through periodic monitoring of the laser's vital signs, the system dynamics were decoupled to identify the sources of degradation. T

Simple modifications were made to a commercial microscope to enable injection of light from a diode laser, and demonstrate optical tweezers action. The basic properties of microscope optics are presented together with discussion of principles to be f

We have observed ring structure formation on a dye laser beam (5850 A) propagating through ruby. We also present, to our knowledge, the first observation of transverse beam encoding by two-beam coupling where spatial rings form on a probe beam coprop
