Here's a picture of a "flame laser" I found in newsletter from February 1966. Whodathunkit!

I don't understand. It's a google web site set for viewing by everybody. Comes up for me.

No!!! you don't resize pics in iPhoto you can do that in preview.
If you are still having problems PM me. I'll help you.

iPhoto is for digital photos not for scanned docs.
For big scanned docs use Adobe acrobat format (.PDF) you can upload that to the forums !!
Grr.

I hate computers. The mac Iphoto only lets you resize things to small, medium or large which is idiotic. therre's no way to resize easily.

Don't blame "computers" for your problems just because you're using a Mac, and even then, you can find alternative software (even on a Mac!) for doing what you need.

As for "burning" lasers, some of the most powerful lasers in the world are combustion-based, for example hydrogen fluoride lasers in the MIRACL lasers pumping out over a megawatt of continuous energy.

Yikes! If the megawatt pulse doesn't kill you, the HF will! ;) LOL

I read about laser technology way back in the early 70's when my dad bough me an encyclopedia, which triggererd my love of anything scientific. Back then, most lasers discussed were the xenon pulsed ruby rod lasers so there was little info about HeNe and CO2, and laser diodes and DPSS were only an engineer's dream.

Thanks for the admonition about computers. I deserve it.

But "combustion" isn't what's happening with a chemical laser, is it? Where's the oxidizer? I've also found reference to a "water vapor" laser from the same time!

Laser diodes have been with us since the '60s. Here's an ad from Laser Focus of January 1967, but GaAs was discovered to lase in '62 I think. Earliest commercially available diode laser was the Korad K-S1, announced in March 1964.

Barely can read the narrative :whistle:

The oxidizer is nitrogen trifluoride according to this description.
