Fig. 12.13 The inset of (a) shows the scheme of a very compact all solid-state laser using the organic semiconductor film as active medium. The pump source is a commercially available diode-pumped, Q-switched, frequency-tripled Nd YAG-microchip laser (Uniphase NanoUV-355). The organic semiconductor laser can be placed directly in front of the pump laser. Thus the total length of this very compact solid-state...

Over the past decade, Raman spectroscopy has continued to develop as a prime candidate for the next generation of in situ planetary instruments, as it provides definitive stmctural and compositional information of minerals in their natural geological context. A time resolved Raman spectrometer have been developed that uses a streak camera and pulsed miniature microchip laser to provide picosecond time resolution (Blacksberg et al. 2010). The ability to observe the complete time evolution of Raman and fluorescence spectra in minerals makes this technique ideal for exploration of diverse planetary environments, some of which are expected to contain strong, if not overwhelming, fluorescence signatures. In particular, it was found that conventional Raman spectra from fine grained clays. 

For some manufacturing facilities, an interior room that is conditioned by a unitary air conditioner with 2-in- (5-cm-) thick throwaway filters might be called a dean room that is, it is clean relative to the atmosphere of the surrounding plant. Generally, however, clean rooms are spaces associated with the microchip, laser optics, medical, and other industries where airborne particles as small as 0.5 pm and less are removed. One micrometer equals one-millionth of a meter, or 0.000039 in (0.000001 m).
