Tunable lasers handbook

Many laser applications depend on the ability of a particular laser to be frequency tunable. Among the many different types of frequency tunable lasers are: dye lasers, excimer lasers, and semiconductor lasers. Thisbook gives active researchers and engineers the practical information they need to choose an appropriate tunable laser for their particular applications.Presents a unified and integrated perspective on tunable lasersIncludes sources spanning the electromagnetic spectrum from the UV to the FIRContains 182 figures and 68 tablesProvides coverage of optical parametric oscillators and tunable gas, liquid, solid state, and semiconductor lasers
