Laser scattering with frequency doubled neodymium light
A series of Q-spoiled neodymium glass oscillators has been constructed to produce radiation which, when frequency doubled to 5300 A, can be used in a optical scattering experiment on a plasma. Though unexpectedly the required light power was never obtained, an exhaustive theoretical analysis has rev...
