Book Description

ISBN-10: 012222695X | ISBN-13: 978-0122226953 | Publication Date: December 19, 1995 | Edition: 1

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.

Key Features
* Presents a unified and integrated perspective on tunable lasers
* Includes sources spanning the electromagnetic spectrum from the UV to the FIR
* Contains 182 figures and 68 tables
* Provides coverage of optical parametric oscillators and tunable gas, liquid, solid state, and semiconductor lasers

More About the Author

F. J. Duarte is the author of the generalized multiple-prism dispersion theory and has discovered several tunable laser oscillator configurations. He is currently working on high-power multiple-prism-grating laser oscillators and on the application of Dirac's quantum notation to classical optics. He is also doing research on very large N-slit laser interferometers for secure interferometric communications and detection of clear air turbulence. Frank's physics career began at Macquarie University (Australia) and has continued in the US where he has worked for academia, industry, and defense.
