Laser : 50 years of discoveries / Fabien Bretenaker, Nicolas Treps. - 1 online resource : color illustrations
Includes index.
What is a laser? -- Lasers of all sizes -- Information and communication using lasers -- Ultra-short light sources -- Ultra-stable lasers and high-precision measurements -- Photons and atoms -- Medical applications.
This unique book provides an overview of the principle and applications of lasers enriched with numerous illustrations. Being over fifty years old, lasers continue to amaze us. Their performance characteristics are constantly reaching new limits, and the scope of their applications continues to expand. Yet, it took years of effort by teams of physicists to transform the fundamental notions of Einstein into the first experimental beam of laser light. And history is still going on as fundamental research is now triggered by its remarkable properties. This book addresses every aspects of laser li.
