Electrical pumping is another method of laser pumping; it involves passing an electric current through the gain medium to excite the atoms or molecules. This is the pumping mechanism used in virtually all gas lasers, where the flow of electricity through a low-pressure gas creates a plasma. 6, record 1, English, - electrical%20pumping

Principe de fonctionnement d'une diode laser. Une diode laser se compose d'un tube semi-conducteur, d'une bobine d'excitation, d'un miroir total et d'un miroir partiel. À l'aide d'un courant électrique circulant dans la bobine, on élève le niveau énergétique des couches d'électrons des atomes des molécules du semi-conducteur. Lorsque le niveau énergétique retombe, cette chute se traduit par l'émission de photons. Lorsque ces photons rencontrent d'autres atomes, ils provoquent l'élévation du niveau énergétique, et ainsi de suite. Au bout d'un certain temps, on obtient un ensemble de rayons parallèles les uns aux autres dont une partie parvient à s'échapper par le miroir semi-réfléchissant. On obtient en sortie un faisceau lumineux très dense (dangereux pour les yeux, même si il est invisible) appelé laser. 4, record 4, French, - diode%20laser

Les fontaines atomiques. Les horloges à fontaine atomique ont permis de faire d'importants progrès dans la précision de mesure des temps et fréquences, grâce à la technique de «refroidissement» des atomes. Normalement, les atomes sont animés à température ambiante d'un mouvement de vitesse aléatoire perturbant la mesure de leur fréquence (effet Doppler, dilatation relativiste du temps). Les atomes peuvent être stoppés et refroidis, par l'intéraction avec un faisceau lumineux, fourni par un laser. De plus, les atomes ainsi piégés peuvent rester longtemps dans l'instrument de mesure, ce qui améliore la précision (plus la mesure est longue, plus elle est précise). Dans une fontaine atomique, on lance verticalement un nuage d'atomes refroidis par lasers. Les atomes passent ensuite dans une cavité micro-ondes qui excite la transition hyperfine de l'atome. Le facteur limitant le temps de séjour des atomes dans l'instrument de mesure, est la gravité, qui ramène les atomes vers le bas (le mouvement des atomes est bien celui d'une véritable fontaine). L'étape suivante est de faire l'expérience dans l'espace, en apesanteur, cf le projet Pharao. 2, record 7, French, - fontaine%20atomique

... the useful life of a semiconductor laser depends on limiting the amount of current applied to the device. Several methods are employed. In one method further chemical elements are introduced into the crystal so that the active layer of the laser is between regions where the band gap is particularly wide. The resulting "heterostructure" has built-in energy barriers that help to prevent the diffusion of charged carriers out of the active layer.

Although real motion video is the holy grail of multimedia, it still is impractical using today's technology. The current method for working with video is by capturing and converting the analog signal from a video source and either manipulating the image's data(which is written to video tape) or compressing the data using compression techniques(either software-only compression or a combination of hardware and software compression). To display or capture a single screen of an NTSC signal, you must have a video frame grabber. These are lowest on the rungs of the video ladder, in that they have less capability than boards that capture streaming video. These cards enable you to grab a single frame of video from a Laser Disk or a VCR. Video frame grabbers come in two varieties : single-frame capture and real-time capture. Single-frame capture boards enable you to freeze a selected frame and record it to your hard disk. In this function, single-frame boards are similar to scanners-they provide a means of capturing an image and saving it for use in a multimedia title.... Real-time frame grabbers capture full-motion video at a rate between 15 and 30 frames-per-second using video compression.... 1, record 16, English, - real%2Dtime%20capture%20frame%20grabber

TROC is an acronym. Acronyms are words formed from the initials of other words. They differ from abbreviations in that they are pronounced as words, rather than as sequences of letters(eg : CIA) and they often share the grammar of standard words, taking on plurals or shifting to new parts of speech. Once an acronym becomes very common, it is usually spelled in lower case(eg :laser). TROC has recently become a very common acronym used by Canadian journalists in discussing the current movement taking place in Quebec with regard to the rest of Canada. TROC can be used either to designate people or to refer to a geographical area. The translation is quite heavy and wordy, as "le reste du Canada", but "LRDC" could not be an acronym, it would be an abbreviation. Moreover, LRDC would rarely be used in French, because it implies the idea that Quebec is still a part of Canada; leading contemporary Quebecois journalists write from a standpoint that Quebec is already a separate entity. 2, record 20, English, - TROC

The British device is described officially as a Laser True Airspeed System(LATAS) ;it might be more accurate to call it a "potential" or "future" airspeed measuring system, since its function is to advise the pilot what his airspeed will be when he traverses a zone located a short distance ahead of his current position at any given moment. Normally this distance is in the 500-600 m range, far enough ahead at normal approach speeds of 360-450 km/h(200-250kn) to give the pilot some four to six seconds warning to recognize an impending change in true airspeed [due to turbulence] and to take any necessary corrective action. 1, record 26, English, - Laser%20True%20Airspeed%20System

Le dispositif britannique est officiellement appelé "Laser True Airspeed System" ou LATAS (système laser de mesure de la vitesse propre), mais il serait sans doute plus exact de le considérer comme un système de mesure de la vitesse propre "possible" ou "future", puisque son rôle est d'indiquer au pilote quelle sera la vitesse de l'avion lorsqu'il traversera une zone située à une faible distance de la position du moment. Normalement, cette distance sera de l'ordre de 500 à 600 m, ce qui, aux vitesses normales d'approche (360 à 450 km/h), devrait avertir le pilote quatre à six secondes à l'avance des modifications imminentes de la vitesse propre et lui permettre de prendre les mesures correctives nécessaires. 1, record 26, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20laser%20de%20mesure%20de%20la%20vitesse%20propre
