Different laser technologies make it possible to change laser parameters to improve laser beam quality and laser performance. Laser Technology, Second Edition gives a systematic presentation of various currently available types of laser technology in a pedagogically unique way. The book discusses the transmission of information using optical waves with modulating technology. It looks at how to enhance beam energy or power through Q switching, mode-locking, and amplification and shows how mode selection and frequency stabilizing technology can improve light beam directionality or monochromaticity. The text also covers nonlinear optical techniques for obtaining new frequencies and light waves.
