An
archive of various articles and papers that are of interest to laserist. This include information on laser
colour balance, PCAOMs, 3D systems, system maintenance, interviews and
occasional laser show reviews:
-
RGB
Lasers for laser projection displays - Detailed
paper in .pdf format which discuss the design and development
of the first all solid state RGB laser system for image
projection systems by JENOPTIK Laser, Optik, Systeme GmbH.
-
Visible
Laser Line Spectrum Chart - By Brian
This very large and detailed chart lists the lines (colours) in
the visible spectrum produced by various types of laser with efficiency
information.

Changing
the tube in a Spectronika CV laser - By L. Michael Roberts
The Spectronika copper vapour laser is a low cost, high power,
air cooled laser. The laser uses a sealed tube design which lasts
approximately 800 hours of operation before the tube must be changed.
This paper covers step by step instructions for the tube change
procedure.

- The
Graphical User Interface (GUI) - By Bob Ash
The interface between the number crunching done internally by a system
and the operator is discussed in the laser light show environment.
- Laser
Colour Balance Explored - By Carol Seidel.
This paper, reproduced from Volume 2, Number 1
of Laser Effects, covers the issue of colour balance in white-light
lasers used for shows and displays.
- 3D
laser based volumetric display - By E. Downing, L. Hesselink, J.
Ralston, and R. Macfarlane.
A three-colour, solid-state, volumetric display based on
two-step, two-frequency upconversion in rare earth doped heavy metal
fluoride glass is described. The device employs infrared laser beams
that intersect inside a transparent volume of active optical material.
- PCAOM
Basics - By Greg Makhov
Reproduced from Volume Volume 1, Number 4 of Laser Effects
covers the basics of how a PCAOM works and how it is used.
- Blinded

Reproduced form Laser Effects #4. A laserists impressions
of the Pink Floyd's "Division Bell' show INCLUDES: Laser Basics
article about the Copper vapour laser from Oxford Laser used on the
tour.
