Talk:Frequency Addition Source of Optical Radiation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Notability?

I am really puzzled about where this term FASOR came from. I have never heard of lasers generated by NLO being called anything other than lasers. I think someone just made the term up. If you do a google search for "Frequency Addition Source of Optical Radiation" you get only the wikipedia articles and one publication in a conference proceeding (Advances in Adaptive Optics II. Edited by Ellerbroek, Brent L.; Bonaccini Calia, Domenico. Proceedings of the SPIE, Volume 6272, pp. 62721L (2006)). So hmmm... maybe we need to think about proposing this article for deletion?

The description makes sense, but I didn't consider notability. I created this article because I thought the elaborate descriptions with all articles that included Image:Starfield Optical Range - sodium laser.jpg and in laser were not in place there. I believe the image description originally stated that it was a dye laser, which turned out to be wrong. I think Deglr6328 (talk · contribs) digged up the information, as in this edit. Maybe Deglr6328 knows more. If you are right, it might be more appropriate to put it at the image description, or maybe at the starfire optical range page. Han-Kwang 20:13, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
