What We Can Learn about Ultrashort Pulses by Linear Optical Methods

  • Adam Borzsonyi,
  • Attila P. Kovacs and
  • Karoly Osvay

26 April 2013

Spatiotemporal compression of ultrashort pulses is one of the key issues of chirped pulse amplification (CPA), the most common method to achieve high intensity laser beams. Successful shaping of the temporal envelope and recombination of the spectral...

A Review of the Role of Amphiphiles in Biomass to Ethanol Conversion

  • Anahita Dehkhoda Eckard,
  • Kasiviswanathan Muthukumarappan and
  • William Gibbons

2 April 2013

One of the concerns for economical production of ethanol from biomass is the large volume and high cost of the cellulolytic enzymes used to convert biomass into fermentable sugars. The presence of acetyl groups in hemicellulose and lignin in plant ce...

Power Collection from Wave Energy Farms

  • Jonas Sjolte,
  • Gaute Tjensvoll and
  • Marta Molinas

2 April 2013

Most Wave Energy Converters (WECs) produce highly distorted power due to thereciprocal motion induced by ocean waves. Some WEC systems have integrated energystorage that overcomes this limitation, but add significant expenses to an already costlysyst...
