Electrical Engineering Introduction to LaserTechnology, Third Edition
Would you like to know how a laser works, and how it can bemodified for your own specific tasks? This intuitive thirdedition-previously published as Understanding LaserTechnology, First and Second Editions-introduces engineers,scientists, technicians, and novices alike to the world of modernlasers, without delving into the mathematical details of quantumelectronics. It is the only introductory text on the market todaythat explains the underlying physics and engineering applicable toall lasers. A unique combination of clarity and technical depth,this book begins with an introductory chapter that explains thecharacteristics and important applications of commercial lasersworldwide. It proceeds with discussions on light and optics, thefundamental elements of lasers, and laser modification. Theconcluding chapters are composed of a survey of modern lasers,including:
* Semiconductor lasers
* Optically pumped solid-state lasers
* Ion, HeNe, and HeCd lasers
* Carbon dioxide lasers
* Excimer lasers (codiscovered by J. J. Ewing)
* Ultrafast and tunable lasers, OPOs
Introduction to Laser Technology, Third Edition isintended for those who are familiar with the principles ofelectro-optical technology, but possess limited formal training.This comprehensive treatment is essential, one-stop shopping forprofessionals, students, and non-engineer executives interested inthe design, sales, or applications of the laser and electro-opticsindustry.
