Dr Andrew Rossall's talk about Lasers - Cafe Scientifique

Lasers – intense beams of light for illuminating the unknown

Abstract:
When the laser was first successfully demonstrated in 1960, it was largely considered to be a technology without purpose. Now, some 57 years later, lasers are an integral part of everyday life with a vast array of scientific, medical, industrial and commercial applications. This talk will look at some of these applications and examine how new types of ultra-intense and x-ray lasers are being used to push the frontiers of science.
