Electro-optic devices based on doped wide-band materials are
present in industrial uses, in military applications and in
everyday life. Whether one engages in laser surgery with a
neodymium-Y AG laser or one communicates overseas using optical
fibers, the development of these materials is both scientifically
and commercially of great interest. Much of the most innovative
work has been done in the last 15 years in this area. A minor
revolution in optical fiber communications has occurred with the
development of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers. Solid-state laser
development shifted into high-gear with the theoretical and
experimental study of doubly-doped garnet lasers. Recent
developments on semiconductor laser arrays are making diode pumped
solid-state lasers commercially feasible. The purpose of this book
is to detail these developments and to point out that many of the
same underlying physical processes control advances in several
diverse applications. For example, the basic science of energy
transfer will be discussed by Zharikov et al. and Rotman for energy
transfer and dopant-defect interactions, respectively; it will also
be crucial in understanding cerium-doped scintilla tors,
neodymium-chromium lasers, and up-conversion fiber lasers. As
another example, phonon-induced non-radiative relaxation will
appear in every chapter in this book.
