Solid-state lasers and their applications at the Czech Technical University in Prague
An overview of solid-state lasers development for satellites laser ranging, medicine, and research of novel laser-active materials for visible, near- and mid-infrared regions will be given. Developed lasers were also used in nonlinear optics.
About the Speaker
Helena Jelinková has more than forty years of experience in the research and development of solid-state lasers at the Czech Technical University in Prague. From 1974 to 1994, she was a member of a group that developed several dozens of solid-state laser transmitters for measuring artificial Earth satellites. Since 1980, she has been engaged in the research and development of lasers for medical use; she led a group that designed and constructed lasers for ophthalmology (secondary cataract surgery), dermatology (melanocytic nevus removal) and dentistry (laser dental drill). In addition, she collaborated and continued to collaborate on research related to the application of laser radiation in urology, cardiac surgery and photodynamic therapy. In recent years, her focus has been on solid-state lasers for generating laser radiation in the visible, near- and mid-infrared regions and their potential applications.
