Abstract

A tutorial introduction to the field of dye lasers, Dye Laser Principles also serves as an up-to-date overview for those using dye lasers as research and industrial tools. A number of the issues discussed in this book are pertinent not only to dye lasers but also to lasers in general. Most of the chapters in the book contain problem sets that expand on the material covered in the chapter.

• Dye lasers are among the most versatile and successful laser sources currently available in use Offering both pulsed and continuous-wave operation and tunable from the near ultraviolet to the near infrared, these lasers are used in such diverse areas as: industrial applications, medical applications, military applications, large-scale laser isotope separation, fundamental physics, spectroscopic techniques, laser radar

"The homework problems are interesting and not just simply fill-in-the-blanks between equations...Dye Laser Principles ith Applications is a fine book...Graduate students and laser physicists will find that this publication contains an up-to-date description of current dye laser topics of interest with an excellent collection of references." --OPTICAL ENGINEERING

"Was impressed with the aim of the text: to be appropriate for both students and also laser researchers...I would recommend this text to laser physics teachers and anyone working with dye lasers as tools in their industrial or research libraries." --OPTICAL ENGINEERING
