high-power laser sources as well as their most relevant applications. This work provides a
useful and up-to-date reference by compiling, in a single source, a description of the state
of the art across a broad range of laser technologies. The book emphasizes phenomenology over
first principles derivations to streamline the presentation and enable discussion of
applications. High power laser handbook Is edited by three engineers from industry leader
Northrop Grumman Presents thorough physical principles of high-power lasers Includes all types
of high-power lasers including gas lasers, chemical lasers, free electron lasers,
semiconductor lasers, and SSL covers typical performance parameters for each major class of
lasers and what constitutes "high power" for a particular class Features examples of realworld
applications The state of the art of high-power lasers: General principles of lasers;
Gas lasers; Chemical lasers; Free electron lasers; Semiconductor lasers; Solid state lasers;
Fiber lasers; Beam combining; Nonlinear processes and Wavelength conversion"--provided by
publisher.
520 $a"High power laser handbook introduces the physics and engineering of high-power laser
sources as well as their most relevant applications. This work provides a useful and up-todate
reference by compiling in a single book a description of the state of the art across a
broad range of laser technologies. The book emphasizes phenomenology over first principles
derivations to streamline the presentation and enable discussion of applications. Its level is
appropriate for professional engineers who have some background in optics and light-particle
interactions, but are not necessarily experts in lasers. The book also serves as a
supplementary course or reference material for advanced undergraduates or graduate students"-provided
