Since its first demonstration in 1960, the laser has evolved into many different forms. It can be now found in many industries, in the hospital, and even in the supermarket.

We recently demonstrated the first optical trapping of atoms.

The cable television industry is being transformed by lasers which can transmit analog signals with satisfactory noise and distortion.

Lasers with low noise and distortion are making inroads into the market for Cable Television (CATV) trunk line transmission.

In this paper we present the different type of laser diodes that are developed at Alcatel-Thales III-V Lab in order to fulfil different functions required for radio over fibre and radar systems.

Micron-scale palladium lines have been produced by a photothermal laser direct-write process in thin palladium acetate films.

A new optical detection scheme for measurements of small optical phase shifts is proposed and demonstrated. The scheme allows broadband reduction of excess laser noise.

We describe and demonstrate an optical detection scheme for small electro-optic phase shift measurements.

We describe and demonstrate an optical detetion scheme for small electro-optic phase shift measurements.

Coherent radiation produced by a laser-bunched relativistic electron beam (the optical klystron) has been proposed as a tunable source of laser harmonics in the XUV.
