A US team has for the first time used a nanosecond Nd:YAG hollow-core fiber laser as the ignition source in a commercial natural-gas engine, replacing conventional electrodes. Laser ignition in ...
A research team in Japan and Romania has offered an alternative to conventional spark plugs, replacing them with durable lasers to ignite the fuel- air mixture that would lower consumption and raise ...
You may have other plans for Sunday than attending the Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics in Baltimore. But if you were to sit in, you would hear a paper by a research team in Japan and Romania ...
Despite all the attention given to electric vehicles, the venerable gasoline-based internal-combustion engine (ICE) is still very much with us, and it appears it will be for a long time. The air-fuel ...
Diode pumping of a dual-clad fiber laser can be from the end or the side, but light must enter at an angle close to the axis of the fiber so the pump light (blue) can be guided within the outer core.
