A potential new light source for nuclear fusion (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Rose, C., McDonald, G., & Christian, J. (2010, November). A potential new light source for nuclear fusion. Presented at 1st CSE Doctoral School Postgraduate Research Conference, University of Salford, Greater Manchester

Lasers typically emit light of one or two, well-defined, frequencies (or ‘colours’). However, numerous applications arise if such light can be converted into a broad, multi-frequency (e.g. ‘multi-colour’) comb of laser beams. Applications range from...
