One of the more important discoveries was second harmonic generation, which happens when light of frequency f is sent into a medium with nonlinear properties and light of frequency 2f is generated. Most green laser pointers work this way, frequency-doubling infrared light of 1064 nm wavelength into visible green light of 532 nm wavelength.<\/p>\n<p>This second harmonic generation was first reported in Phys. Rev. Lett. 7, 118-119 (1961) by researchers at the University of Michigan with pulsed ruby laser light of around 3 kilowatts instantaneous power focused into a very tiny area. The paper they published is now unfortunately not just a famous paper in laser physics but a famous publishing screw-up in laser physics:&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/science\">science<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/physics\">physics<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/history\">history<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/optics\">optics<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/quantum\">quantum<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/blogs\">blogs<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/built-on-facts\">built-on-facts<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/publishing\">publishing<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baubles vs. Hard Truths | Mother Jones &#8220;Here&#8217;s the problem: most plans to reduce the long-term deficit consist of three things: shiny baubles, smoke and mirrors, and actual deficit reduction measures.
