Handbook of Laser Science & Technology, Supplement 1: Lasers

Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

Extends and updates the information on laser sources, the tabulated and graphical data, and the references on laser action in various media, contained in volumes I and II of The Handbook of laser science and technology (1988). In a format consistent with the parent volumes, discusses solid state, liquid, gas, free-electron, vacuum-ultraviolet, and x-ray lasers. The emphasis is on presenting comprehensive compilations of data on lasing transitions and materials, rather than on detailing the physics, operating configuration or applications of the various lasers. A second supplement is planned to update other volumes in the series. Acidic paper.

Synopsis:

This book updates Volumes I and II of the Handbook of Laser Science and Technology. Together, these three volumes constitute a comprehensive listing of lasers and laser transitions and should be an important reference for all scientists and engineers working in the area of laser research and development. In the Handbook of Laser Science and Technology, Supplement 1: Lasers, experts summarize the discovery of new lasers and the latest advances in various types of solid state lasers, organic dye and inorganic liquid lasers, neutral, ionized and molecular gas lasers, and masers. The book also includes recent developments in X-ray lasers, free electron lasers, tunable solid state lasers, and fiber lasers. Key features of the supplement are its tables of gas and solid state lasers, arranged by wavelength so researchers can quickly find laser wavelengths for specific applications. Extensive references to the primary literature are provided throughout this supplement.
