[ALPS16-03] Developing control method of acoustic and entropy wave
in Gas-Based optics for laser machining

*Yurina Michine¹, Hitoki Yoneda¹ (1. University of Electro-Communications)

Investigated control method of acoustic and entropy wave in gas-based optics for laser processing. Under specific condition, entropy wave persist, potentially enabling applications in modulating high-power CW fiber and pseudo-CW lasers.
