In Dye Lasers: 25 years, the pioneers and leading experts inthe field of dye lasers present the current status andbright future perspectives of dye lasers and theirapplications in physics and chemistry. Particular topicscovered include: new sources of ultrashort pulses, novelaspects of resonator design and imaging for femtosecondlasers, amplification schemes to terawatt intensity regimes,optics and high-resolution spectroscopy of atoms andmolecules, and electro-optic and plasma physics applicationsof ultrashort and ultra-intense laser pulses.Since its invention in 1966, the dye laser hasrevolutionized many fields of science and technology.Questions of fundamental interest in physics and chemistrycan now be answered: it is possible to test fundamentalquantum physics in single-atom experiments andregioselective photochemistry in complexes can be monitoreddirectlyusing dye-laser diagnostic methods.In this book the latest results (and most recent references)are presented for new sources of ultrashort pulses from thevisible to the VUV, together with experimental details ofultrahigh-resolution spectroscopy of atoms and molecules,laser diagnostics of the dynamics of elementary chemicalreactions, and ultrahigh intensity sources for laser targetinteraction.

In this book the generation of tunable, ultrashort pulse, ultrahigh intensity dye-laser radiation is treated in detail by leading experts in the field. The numerous, up-to-date literature references will make this volume invaluable to all researchers and graduate students dealing with dye lasers and their applications.
