Infos

Starting at a level suitable for physicists with little specialist knowledege, this collection of papers presented at the 52nd Scottish University Summer School in Physics provides insight into the current developments and advances in lasers and their applications.

---

Advances in Lasers and Applications opens with tutorial reviews of the underpinning science of diode pumped lasers, optical parametric oscillators, and ultrafast pulse generation. The book proceeds to the more specialized areas of waveguide lasers, ultrafast parametric amplification, visible solid-state lasers, materials, and diode pumps. The final sections present the applications of these sources to medicine, remote sensing and ranging, materials processing, and the widening set of applications for ultrashort pulses.
