In January 2000, Corning bought Oak Industries for $1.8 billion, primarily for its pump lasers.

In this case, we tune our pump laser to a different excited state and let the population naturally decay into the first excited state.

Therefore if we look at what frequencies are missing from the probe light, we can see what effect the pump laser had on the water.

This sharp, centered peak appeared even if the pump laser was targeted off-center.

The frequency and polarization of the pump laser determines which sublevel the atom is oriented in.

They use internal pump lasers with power levels up a few watts, which is a major hazard.

An opto-electronic oscillator is based on converting the continuous light energy from a pump laser to radio frequency (RF) and microwave signals.

This technique requires accurately matching the cavity lengths of the pump laser and the driven laser.

The pump laser's narrow spectrum gives it much more efficient energy transfer than flashlamps.

They then began hitting the drop of GFP solution with a pump laser to keep the protein population in an excited state.
