The time variation of the focal plane speckle is achieved by a process known as smoothing by spectral dispersion (SSD). In SSD, a small amount of frequency modulated (FM) bandwidth is added to the laser, and this is angularly dispersed using a diffraction grating in the front end. 3, record 1, English, - smoothing%20by%20spectral%20dispersion

The Canadian Association for Community Care (CACC) is a national, non-profit, bilingual association, formed in 1995 by the merger of HomeSupport Canada and the Canadian Long Term Care Association. CACC's guiding principle is our commitment to a strong national voice for the community care sector. In our view, community care includes home-based care, facility-based long term care and community support programs, such as meal services. CACC's mission is to promote the development of a range of high-quality, flexible, responsive and accessible community care services within a seamless continuum of care. 7, record 3, English, - Canadian%20Association%20for%20Community%20Care

L'Association canadienne de soins et services communautaires(ACSSC) est une association nationale sans but lucratif, bilingue, constituée en 1995 par la fusion de Soutien à domicile Canada et de l'Association canadienne de soins à long terme. Son principe directeur est d’être, de par son engagement, le porte-parole du secteur des soins et services communautaires qui englobent, dans notre optique, les services communautaires qui englobent, dans notre optique, les services de soutien à domicile, les soins prolongés en établissement et d’autres programmes d’entraide tels que les programmes de livraison de repas. La mission de l'ACSSC est de promouvoir une gamme de soins et services communautaires de haute qualité, souples, réceptifs et accessibles à l'intérieur d’un continuum ininterrompu de services de santé. 7, record 3, French, - Association%20canadienne%20de%20soins%20et%20services%20communautaires

The availability of additional laser methods such as optical trapping (immobilizing and moving cells or organelles with a focused beam of light), optiporation (permeabilization of the cell membrane with light), optical fusion (inducting cells or vesicles for fuse with light), and optical ablation (optically incinerating cells or subcellular structures) provides an ever-increasing armory of optical tools for new and exciting investigations that depend upon macromanipulation of single cells and contaminant-free isolation of these cells from tissue slices or tissue culture. 1, record 4, English, - optical%20fusion
