Foreword by Nobel laureate Professor Theodor W. Hansch of
Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat Munchen
Based on the authors experimental work over the last 25 years,
Laser-Based Measurements for Time and Frequency Domain
Applications: A Handbook presents basic concepts, state-of-the-art
applications, and future trends in optical, atomic, and molecular
physics. It provides all the background information on the main
kinds of laser sources and techniques, offers a detailed account of
the most recent results obtained for time- and frequency-domain
applications of lasers, and develops the theoretical framework
necessary for understanding the experimental applications.
After a historical introduction, the book describes the basic
concepts and mathematical tools required for studying the physics
of oscillators. It then discusses microwave and optical resonators,
crucial aspects of operation and fundamental properties of lasers,
and precision spectroscopy and absolute frequency metrology. It
also focuses on microwave and optical frequency standards and
explores current and potential research directions.
Accessible to scientists, postdoc researchers, and advanced
undergraduate students, this self-contained book gives a
wide-ranging, balanced overview of the areas including frequency
standards and clocks, ultra-high-precision spectroscopy, quantum
information, and environmental metrology revolutionized by the
recent advent of optical frequency comb synthesizers (OFCSs) based
on femtosecond mode-locked lasers. The book is also a useful guide
to cutting-edge research for manufacturers of advanced laser
systems and optical devices."
