Description

Tunability has added an important dimension to a variety of laser devices and led to new systems and applications. From laser spectroscopy to Bose-Einstein condensation, the one nexus is the tunable laser.Incorporating nine entirely new chapters, Tunable Laser Applications, Second Edition reflects the significant developments in tunable lasers that have taken place over the past decade. Internationally recognized experts describe the physics and architecture of widely applied tunable laser sources, emphasizing biomedical applications of fiber lasers and ultrashort pulsed lasers as well as laser isotope separation and cancer photodynamic therapy.New to the Second Edition—· Advances in optical parametric oscillators· Advances in tunable semiconductor lasers· Solid-state dye lasers· Laser isotope separation using diode lasers· Medical applications of table-top coherent X-raysOutlining new applications in biology and medicine, this second edition offers a well-needed and up-to-date account of the most promising tunable laser applications.
