Siegman A.E. Lasers

InTech, 2010. 474 p. ISBN:9789533074054 Pulsed lasers are available in the gas, liquid, and the solid state. These lasers are also enormously versatile in their output characteristics yielding emission from very large energy pulses to very high peak-power pulses. Pulsed lasers are equally versatile in their spectral characteristics. This volume includes an impressive array of current research on pulsed laser phenomena and applications. Laser Pu...

InTech, 2011. 308 p. ISBN:978-953-307-429-0. This book addresses topics related to various laser systems intended for the applications in science and various industries. Some of them are very recent achievements in laser physics (e.g. laser pulse cleaning), while others face their renaissance in industrial applications (e.g. CO2 lasers). This book has been divided into four different sections: (1) Laser and terahertz sources, (2) Laser beam mani...

National Academies Press, 2009, 54 pages. Scientific Assessment of High-Power Free-Electron Laser Technology /by Committee on a Scientific Assessment of Free-Electron Laser Technology for Naval Applications and National Research Council. The charge from the Office of Naval Research was to assess whether the desired performance capabilities are achievable or whether fundamental limitations will prevent them from being realized. The present stud...

Springer, 2010. 259 p. ISBN:0-387-40836-3 The detailed and comprehensive presentation is unique in that it encourages the reader to consider different semiconductor lasers from different angles. Emphasis is placed on recognizing common concepts such operating principles and structure, and solving problems based on individual situations. The treatment is enhanced by an historical account of advances in semiconductor lasers over the years, discuss...

2007, изд: Taylor & Francis Group, LLC 527pp. Solid-State Lasers and Applications aims at providing an in-depth account of the major advances that have taken place in the field with an emphasis on the most recent trends. For example, Chapter 2 to Chapter 5 discuss the most recent developments and applications of new solid-state gain media in different wavelength regions. Examples include cerium-doped lasers in the ultraviolet, ytterbium laser...

Springer, 2009, 648 pp. This new Fifth Edition of Principles of Lasers incorporates corrections to the previous edition. The text’s essential mission remains the same: to provide a wide-ranging yet unified description of laser behavior, physics, technology, and current applications. Dr. Svelto emphasizes the physical rather than the mathematical aspects of lasers, and presents the subject in the simplest terms compatible with a correct physical...

Fourth Edition. Springer, 1998. 624 p. ISBN:0306457482 This new Fourth Edition of Principles of Lasers is so thoroughly updated and expanded that it is virtually a whole new book. But the text?s essential mission remains the same: to provide a wide-ranging yet unified description of laser behavior, physics, technology, and current applications. Dr. Svelto emphasizes the physical rather than the mathematical aspects of lasers, and presents the s...

Springer Science+Business Media, 2010, Pages: 650 Ever since their invention in 1960, lasers have assumed tremendous importance in the fields of science, engineering and technology because of their use both in basic research and in various technological applications. Lasers: Theory and Applications 2nd Edition will provide a coherent presentation of the basic physics behind the working of the laser along with some of their most important appli...

Wiley-Interscience, 1991, 646 Pages This is the first book to review in systematic fashion the coherence, amplification and quantum effects in semiconductor lasers. There are three major sections in the text. The first deals with the application of semiconductor lasers for coherent communication and spectroscopy, outlining the fundamental spectral and modulation characteristics of semiconductor lasers. Semiconductor laser amplifiers, particular...
