Synopsis

The first volume is concerned primarily with the physical properties of lasers. Aspects discussed include: theory, principles of the various laser types, laboratory techniques needed for practical work with lasers, and solid-state materials used in the study of nonlinear interactions of light with light, or with electric, magnetic, and sonic fields. The second volume is devoted to laser applications. It explores the applications lasers have found in the physics laboratory and examines technical applications, such as holography and pattern recognition, which have shown or promise to show practical importance. [A]The Laser Handbook is an authoritative and centralized source of information covering the entire laser field. The articles are expository monographs which serve as detailed discussions for active workers and other scientists and engineers. The chapters are also designed as in-depth introductions to the latest concepts for graduate students. The authors are all actively engaged in research at leading institutions where the work described is being carried out.[/A]
