Beschreibung
Written from an industrial perspective, Solid-State Laser Engineering discusses in detail the characteristics, design, construction, and performance of solid-state lasers. Emphasis is placed on engineering and practical considerations; phenomenological aspects using models are preferred to abstract mathematical derivations. Since its first edition almost 30 years ago this book has become the standard in the field of solid-state lasers for scientists,engineers and graduate students.
This new edition has been extensively revised and updated to account for recent developments in the areas of diode-laser pumping, laser materials and nonlinear crystals. Completely new sections have been added dealing with frequency control, the theory of mode-locking, femto second lasers, high efficiency harmonic generation, passive and acousto-optic Q-switching, semiconductor saturable absorber mirrors (SESAM) and peridically poled nonlinear crystals.
This book deals principally with the design and development of lasers, and is the only book available dealing exclusively with solid-state lasers.

The book is written from an industrial perspective and its author received his doctorate in electrical engineering from the University of Technology in Vienna, Austria, in 1965.
He has published numerous papers in the fields of solid-state lasers, optics and solid-state physics.
In contrast to most books on lasers, which are mainly concerned with an introduction of physical or quantum mechanical principles of laser action or with the application of laser systems, it deals principally with the design and development of lasers The only one on the market dealing exclusively with solid-state lasers. Other books treat all types of lasers in a very general way, or are devoted to specific industrial or medical applications This new edition has been extensively updated to account for recent developments in the areas of diode-laser pumping, laser materials and nonlinear crystals Completely new sections have been added dealing with the theory of mode-locking, femto second lasers, high efficiency harmonic generation, passive and acousto-optic Q-switching, semiconductor saturable absorber mirrors (SESAM) and peridically poled nonlinear crystals
