Handbook of Solid-State Lasers: Materials, Systems and Applications (Woodhead Publishing Series in Electronic and Optical Materials) - Hardcover
Book 46 of 203: Woodhead Publishing Series in Electronic and Optical Materials
Synopsis
Solid-state lasers are widely used in medicine, industry, scientific research, military and remote sensing applications. They comprise a dominant part of the overall laser market. Solid-state lasers are fast replacing gas lasers for many applications. Solid-state lasers possess desirable characteristics such as good reliability and robustness, a high level of safety, user-friendliness, compact size and a low cost to performance ratio. They can be maintenance-free, suitable for high-volume production and they are becoming available in a wide range of wavelengths. Part one covers solid-state laser materials, part two discusses solid-state laser systems and part three looks at solid-state laser applications.
Key Features: reviews the materials used in solid-state lasers; explores the principles of solid-state laser systems and their applications; considers defence and environmental applications.
Contents: Part 1 Solid-state laser materials: Oxide laser crystals doped with rare earth and transition metal ions; Fluoride laser crystals; Oxide laser ceramics; Fluoride laser ceramics; Neodymium, Erbium and Ytterbium laser glasses; Nonlinear crystals for solid-state lasers. Part 2 Solid-state laser systems and their applications: Principles of solid-state lasers; Powering solid-state lasers; Operation regimes for solid-state lasers; Neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) and neodymium-doped yttrium orthvanadate (Nd:YVO4); System sizing issues with diode-pumped quasi-three level materials; Neodymium doped lithium yttrium fluoride (Nd:YLiF4) lasers; Erbium (Er) glass lasers; Microchip lasers; Fiber lasers; Laser mid-infrared system with nonlinear optical conversion; Raman lasers; Cryogenic lasers; Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS); Surgical solid-state lasers and their clinical applications; Solid-state lasers (SSL) in defence programs; Environmental applications of solid-state lasers.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Solid-state lasers which offer multiple desirable qualities, including enhanced reliability, robustness, efficiency and wavelength diversity, are absolutely indispensable for many applications. The Handbook of solid-state lasers reviews the key materials, processes and applications of solid-state lasers across a wide range of fields.Part one begins by reviewing solid-state laser materials. Fluoride laser crystals, oxide laser ceramics, crystals and fluoride laser ceramics doped by rare earth and transition metal ions are discussed alongside neodymium, erbium and ytterbium laser glasses, and nonlinear crystals for solid-state lasers. Part two then goes on to explore solid-state laser systems and their applications, beginning with a discussion of the principles, powering and operation regimes for solid-state lasers. The use of neodymium-doped materials is considered, followed by system sizing issues with diode-pumped quasi-three level materials, erbium glass lasers, and microchip, fiber, Raman and cryogenic lasers. Laser mid-infrared systems, laser induced breakdown spectroscope and the clinical applications of surgical solid-state lasers are also explored. The use of solid-state lasers in defense programs is then reviewed, before the book concludes by presenting some environmental applications of solid-state lasers.With its distinguished editors and international team of expert contributors, the Handbook of solid-state lasers is an authoritative guide for all those involved in the design and application of this technology, including laser and materials scientists and engineers, medical and military professionals, environmental researchers, and academics working in this field.
