Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The practice of shaping the irradiance profile of laser beams goes back more than three decades, and the applications of beam shaping are as diverse as they are numerous. However, until Dickey and Holswade's groundbreaking and highly popular Laser Beam Shaping: Theory and Techniques was published, there was no single, detailed treatment available on the underlying theory and basic techniques of beam shaping. Building on the foundations of this previous work, these esteemed editors have teamed with recognized expert David L. Shealy to produce the first in-depth account of beam shaping applications and design. Laser Beam Shaping Applications details the important features of beam shaping and exposes the subtleties of the theory and techniques that are best demonstrated through proven applications. In chapters contributed by prominent, active leaders in their respective specialties, the book discusses applications in lithography, laser printing, optical data storage, stable isotope separation, adaptive mirrors, and spatially dispersive lasers. The contributors share major insights, knowledge, and experience, reveal the advantages of the technologies, and include extensive references to the literature. The book concludes with a summary of beam shaping theory and techniques as well as the history of the field. Providing practical expertise, Laser Beam Shaping Applications is an extremely helpful guide to improving current laser processes, optimizing application-specific technologies, and advancing future development in the field.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good on applications, thin on theory. Meant for apps or development engineers., September 16, 2008
I bought this book to acquaint myself with current beam shaping/homogenizing technologies for excimer lasers. The book has several chapters on pertaining to beam shaping technologies for other types of lasers that I have not yet read. The chapter on excimers is thorough and intuitively organized, progressing from the raw laser output to final worksurface incidence.

The book is written for an engineer with previous experience in laser processing and applications. It presents beam-shaping technologies in an applications-based format, with emphasis on final process output capabilities: just the thing an apps engineer or process development engineer needs to know. The extent of adoption of various technologies is also presented, illustrating that some technologies have widespread implementation and others do not.

There is a noticeable lack of explanation of the principle of operation of many of the technologies presented: this is not an optics textbook. This book is intended for a professional in the workplace that needs to understand how laser beam uniformity issues can be mitigated to produce a desired process output. To that end, it performs well by presenting a wide gamut of options for a given laser type.
