This book is concerned with the underlying science and design of
laser materials. It emphasizes the principles of crystal-field
engineering and discusses the basic physical concepts that
determine laser gain and nonlinear frequency conversion in optical
crystals. A concise review of the essential underlying science is
presented, and the predictive capabilities of crystal-field
engineering are developed to show how modification of the symmetry
and composition of optical centres can improve laser performance.
Applications of the principles of crystal-field engineering to a
variety of optical crystals are also discussed in relation to the
performances of laser devices. This book will be of considerable
interest to physical, chemical and material scientists and to
engineers involved in the science and technology of solid state
lasers. It will be used by senior undergraduate and postgraduate
students as well as by established scientists.
