1. At alkaline pH, both cell types accumulated inorganic carbon, presumably , in a light-dependent and saturable process.

2. 2. InE. albidus the concentration dependent uptake of L-arginine consits of a saturable component and a diffusion component.

3. The impedance variation of the saturable inductance provides for a precise and continuous adaptation of the induction heating generator to its load.

4. Decreasing initial transmission of the saturable absorber can cause pulse energy increase, pulse duration decrease and the threshold pump power increase respectively.

5. The laser comprises two mirrors (3, 5) providing a laser cavity, in which a gain medium (2), a saturable absorber (4) and a controllable active modulator (6) are situated.

6. A feedback loop (5) reflects a portion of the amplified light, and the counter-propagating beams induce an absorption grating in a saturable absorption region which suppresses output oscillations.

7. Semiconductor materials which have been subjected to at least one of the aforementioned measures during production exhibit impressionable, especially short response times and, at the same time, exhibit high absorption modulations and low non-saturable absorption losses.
