Compact, stable and efficient green lasers are of great interest for many applications like mobile video projection,sensing, distance measurement and instrumentation. Those applications require medium values of output power in the50mW range, good wall-plug efficiency above 5% and stable operation over a wide temperature range. In this paper wepresent latest results from experimental investigations on ultra-compact green intracavity frequency doubled opticallypumped semiconductor InGaAs disk lasers. The green laser setup has been limited to a few micro optical andsemiconductor components built on a silicon backplane and fits within an envelope of less than 0.4 cc. An opticalfrequency looking scheme in order to fix the fundamental wavelength over varying operating conditions like changingoutput power and ambient temperature has been applied.
The cavity has been optimized for fast modulation response andhigh efficiency using quasi-phase matching non-linear material. Recent data from cw and high-frequencycharacterization is presented.
Constituency results map for thebefore electionElectedThe 2008 Spanish general election was held on Sunday, 9 March 2008, to elect the 9th of the. All 350 seats in the were up for election, as well as 208 of 264 seats in the.After four years of growing bipolarisation of Spanish politics, the election saw a record result for both ruling (PSOE) and opposition (PP), together obtaining more than 83% of the vote share—over 21 million votes—and 92% of the Congress seats.

On the other hand, 's PP saw an increase in its vote share and seat count but remained unable to overtake the Socialists.(IU) had its worst general election performance ever with less than 4% and 2 seats.
Regional nationalist parties (CiU), (ERC), (PNV) or (CHA) were also hurt by the massive tactical voting towards the PSOE, falling to historical lows of popular support. (UPyD), with 1 seat and slightly more than 300,000 votes, became the first nationwide party aside from PSOE, PP and IU entering in parliament in over two decades.Zapatero was sworn in as for a second term in office in April 2008, just as the Spanish economy began showing signs of after a decade of growth.

Nonetheless, the Senate possessed a few exclusive, yet limited in number functions—such as its role in —which were not subject to the Congress' override. Voting for the Cortes Generales was on the basis of, which comprised all nationals over eighteen and in full enjoyment of their political rights.For the Congress of Deputies, 348 seats were elected using the and a, with a of 3 percent of valid votes—which included blank ballots—being applied in each constituency. Parties not reaching the threshold were not taken into consideration for seat distribution. Additionally, the use of the D'Hondt method might result in an effective threshold over three percent, depending on the. Seats were allocated to constituencies, corresponding to the.
Each constituency was entitled to an initial minimum of two seats, with the remaining 248 allocated among the constituencies in proportion to their populations. And were allocated the two remaining seats, which were elected using.For the Senate, 208 seats were elected using an, with electors voting for individual candidates instead of parties. In constituencies electing four seats, electors could vote for up to three candidates; in those with two or three seats, for up to two candidates; and for one candidate in single-member districts. Each of the 47 peninsular provinces was allocated four seats, whereas for insular provinces, such as the and, districts were the islands themselves, with the larger—, and —being allocated three seats each, and the smaller—, –, and —one each. Ceuta and Melilla elected two seats each.
Additionally, could appoint at least one senator each and were entitled to one additional senator per each million inhabitants.The electoral law provided that parties, federations, coalitions and were allowed to present lists of candidates. However, groupings of electors were required to secure the signature of at least 1 percent of the electors registered in the constituency for which they sought election. Electors were barred from signing for more than one list of candidates.

Concurrently, parties and federations intending to enter in coalition to take part jointly at an election were required to inform the relevant Electoral Commission within ten days of the election being called. Election date The term of each House of the Cortes Generales—the Congress and the Senate—expired four years from the date of their previous election, unless they were dissolved earlier. The election Decree was required to be issued no later than the twenty-fifth day prior to the date of expiry of the Cortes in the event that the Prime Minister did not make use of his prerogative of early dissolution.
The Decree was to be published on the following day in the, with election day taking place on the fifty-fourth day from publication. The was held on 14 March 2004, which meant that the legislature's term would expire on 14 March 2008.
