Opis

This study provides not only an introduction to the underlying physics of laser resonators and laser beams, but also material on the application of basic principles to the design of laser resonators for most of the important types of laser in common use today. Although particular technologies have been described in specific instances, the overall aim of the text has been to emphasize design principles rather than particular implementations.

Recenzje

"… expert contributors have achieved their objective of bringing together in a single volume an introduction to the physics of laser resonators and laser beams together with less readily available information on the application of the basic principles of the design of resonators for the most updated types of laser in common use today."
