Download or read book Tunable Laser Optics written by Frank J. Duarte and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2003-10-07 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapters will provide self-contained treatment of the topic as much as possible to allow the reader to go directly to the appropriate chapter to deal with a particular topic of concern. This sharp focus is necessary to maintain the emphasis, and to make this a practical reference. The knowledge and experience will integrate aspects of laser oscillators, laser amplifiers, laser systems, engineering of rugged laser cavities, design and engineering of laser-based instrumentation, and design of highly reliable laser systems for material processing applications. - Provides a sharp focus practical aspects of reference material - Offers an approach that will be simple, direct, and focused only on lasers and optics - Integrates aspects of laser oscillators, laser amplifiers, laser systems, engineering of rugged laser cavities, design and engineering of laser-based instrumentation, and design of highly reliable laser systems for material processing applications
