Beschreibung
This graduate-level text presents the fundamental physics of solid- state lasers, including the basis of laser action and the optical and electronic properties of laser materials. Some knowledge of quantum mechanics and solid-state physics is assumed, but the discussion is as self-contained as possible; the book is an excellent reference and independent study source.
The development of new and better solid-state lasers with specific operating characteristics is currently one of the most important areas of scientific research. This professional reference presents the fundamental physics of solid-state lasers, including the basis of laser action and the optical and electronic properties of laser materials. Powell is director of the Optical Science Center at the University of Arizona, one of the worlds preeminent centers of optical research. Level of presentation makes it useful to the non-expert, e.g., for electrical engineers. Many tables and illustrations make it very useful as a reference.
