LASER CONDITION [5 records]

Record 1 2024-02-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Surgery
  • The Eye
  • Lasers and Masers
CONT

This type of laser is used for the prevention or treatment of angle-closure glaucoma. In this condition, the iris blocks fluid drainage and thereby increases the inner eye pressure. LPI results in a small drainage hole within the iris that permits the drainage of fluid and thereby helps to lower the eye pressure.

Domaine(s)

  • Oeil
  • Masers et lasers
CONT

Pendant une iridectomie périphérique au laser, on pratique un petit trou dans l'iris pour permettre au liquide aqueux de mieux circuler.

Record 2 2007-01-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Storage Media (Data Processing)
  • Audiovisual Techniques and Equipment
DEF

A condition found in a small fraction of laserdiscs [that is] caused by oxidation in the aluminum layer of the disc.

OBS

Laserdiscs with this condition cease to play. Experts say it is too early to tell if images will develop laser rot, but steps have been taken to prevent it, such as use of higher-quality materials in the manufacturing of discs.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Supports d'information (Informatique)
  • Audiovisuel (techniques et équipement)
DEF

Détérioration de la couche d'aluminium d'un disque laser par oxydation entraînant un vieillissement de l'image et une perte sonore.

OBS

La taille des laserdiscs les rend plus prompts à se voiler et à fragiliser la frontière entre les deux faces. Les DVD sont plus solides. De plus, les DVD sont faits de polycarbonate qui absorbe dix fois moins d'humidité que le PMMA [polyméthacrylate de méthyle] utilisé pour les laserdiscs.

Record 4 2001-08-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Optics
  • Lasers and Masers
CONT

The basic principle of the OWLS [optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy] method is that linearly polarized light(He-Ne laser) is coupled by a diffraction grating into the waveguide layer, provided that the incoupling condition is fulfilled. The incoupling is a resonance phenomenon that occurs at a precise angle of incidence, which depends on the refractive indices of the medium covering the surface of the waveguide.

CONT

The CEPES-Laser is a highly effective mutifunctional treatment system. Because of its wide application capability it has for many years been very succesfully applied in human and veterinary medicine... Despite having a low output performance of approx 0,5 mWatt the treatment signals penetrate through the combination with a magnetic field (Schumann and geomagnetic frequency spectrum) into the intracellular environment and generate the necessary physiological resonance phenomen.

OBS

phenomen, -mene. Obs. rare. Anglicized form of phenomenon [= F. phénomène].

French

Domaine(s)
  • Optique
  • Masers et lasers
CONT

La possibilité du phénomène laser et d'émission éventuelle d'un rayon laser sont liées aux conditions suivantes : Existence d'un milieu (dans le cas du gyromètre laser, c'est un gaz) possédant au moins trois niveaux d'énergie [...]. Existence d'un procédé, dit de pompage, impliquant un apport d'énergie faisant passer un grand nombre d'électrons du niveau E0) au niveau E [indice 2. Dans le cas des gyromètres laser, le pompage est obtenu par voie électrique [...]. Existence d'un phénomène de résonance correspondant à des ondes lumineuses [...] Dans le cas des gyromètres laser, une cavité résonnante est formée par un ensemble de miroirs de haute qualité.
