This comprehensive handbook gives a fully updated guide to lasers
and laser technologies, including the complete range of their
technical applications. The first volume outlines the fundamental
components of lasers, their properties, and working principles. Key
Features: * Offers a complete update of the original, bestselling
work, including many brand-new chapters. * Deepens the introduction
to fundamentals, from laser design and fabrication to host matrices
for solid-state lasers, energy level diagrams, hosting materials,
dopant energy levels, and lasers based on nonlinear effects. *
Covers new laser types, including quantum cascade lasers,
silicon-based lasers, titanium sapphire lasers, terahertz lasers,
bismuth-doped fiber lasers, and diode-pumped alkali lasers. *
Discusses the latest applications, e.g., lasers in microscopy,
high-speed imaging, attosecond metrology, 3D printing, optical
atomic clocks, time-resolved spectroscopy, polarization and profile
measurements, pulse measurements, and laser-induced fluorescence
detection. * Adds new sections on laser materials processing, laser
spectroscopy, lasers in imaging, lasers in environmental sciences,
and lasers in communications. This handbook is the ideal companion
for scientists, engineers, and students working with lasers,
including those in optics, electrical engineering, physics,
chemistry, biomedicine, and other relevant areas.
