Abstract

Fiber gratings irradiated by CW-laser show a breaking strength and a lifetime performance similar to that of pristine fiber, on pulsed KrF-laser irradiation. In this paper we report on the mechanical reliability of fibers irradiated by UV light using the side exposure technique. Homogeneous excimer laser irradiation reduces the mechanical resistance considerably depending on the fluence per pulse and the laser wavelength. With increasing pulse energy density the mechanical resistance is lowered. In contrary, homogeneous CW irradiated fibers show almost the same fiber strength as compared with pristine fiber

Laser

A laser is a device that emits light through a process of optical amplification based on the stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation. The word laser is an anacronym that originated as an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. The first laser was built in 1960 by Theodore Maiman at Hughes Research Laboratories, based on theoretical work by Charles H. Townes and Arthur Leonard Schawlow. A laser differs from other sources of light in that it emits light that is coherent.

Laser diode

A laser diode (LD, also injection laser diode or ILD, or diode laser) is a semiconductor device similar to a light-emitting diode in which a diode pumped directly with electrical current can create lasing conditions at the diode's junction. Driven by voltage, the doped p–n-transition allows for recombination of an electron with a hole. Due to the drop of the electron from a higher energy level to a lower one, radiation, in the form of an emitted photon is generated. This is spontaneous emission.

Laser safety

Laser radiation safety is the safe design, use and implementation of lasers to minimize the risk of laser accidents, especially those involving eye injuries. Since even relatively small amounts of laser light can lead to permanent eye injuries, the sale and usage of lasers is typically subject to government regulations. Moderate and high-power lasers are potentially hazardous because they can burn the retina, or even the skin.
