Synopsis

The generation and the numerous applications of ultrashort laser pulses represent an exciting and rapidly growing topic of modern science. Ten experts actively working with ultrashort laser pulses have decided to prepare a new book describing the present state of the art in their individual field. The book is written for scientists, engineers and advanced students who are interested in the topic and who try to get quick and first-hand information of the latest developments.

About this title

Synopsis

"Ultrashort Laser Pulses" aims to provide an up-to-date review of the state of the art in different generation processes for ultrashort laser pulses. In addition, extensive applications in a wide range of fields - in physics, engineering, chemistry, and biology - are discussed: the generation of picosecond and femtosecond laser pulses; nonlinear wave interactions; new investigations in solid-state physics; recent progress in optoelectronics; advances in coherent material excitations; ultrafast vibrational lifetimes and energy redistribution in liquids; new observations of chemical reactions in the liquid state; the primary processes of important biological systems. This book should be useful for scientists and engineers who want to know what is going on in this rapidly advancing field. It should also interest graduate students and others who seek an introduction to laser pulses.
