Encyclopedia of Laser Physics and Technology, 2 Teile

This comprehensive authored encyclopedia explains the terms and principles of laser physics and technology,icncluding general optics and optoelectronics, nonlinear, quantum and fiber optics, as well as ultrashort pulses and optical communications.

Eine umfangreiche Enzyklopädie in zwei Bänden (A-M, N-Z) auf einem disziplinübergreifenden Gebiet! Die Einträge erklären nicht nur Grundsätzliches wie die physikalische Basis des Laserprozesses und die gebräuchlichen Lasertypen, sondern erfassen auch Spezialthemen wie ultrakurze Pulse, Optoelektronik und Quantenoptik. Zahlreiche Verweise auf Originalarbeiten und Lehrbücher machen das Werk zu einem guten Ausgangspunkt für weitere Recherchen.

Auteur
Rüdiger Paschotta is an internationally recognized expert in areas such as lasers and amplifiers, nonlinear optics, fiber technology, ultrashort pulses, and noise in optics. He originally gained this expertise during a successful academic career, and later founded RP Photonics Consulting, providing services to companies within the photonics industry mostly in Europe and the United States. Dr. Paschotta thus combines the detailed expertise of a scientist with the practical sense of someone working mainly on industrial projects.

Texte du rabat
This authoritative two-volume encyclopedia helps to master the large variety of physical phenomena and technological aspects involved in laser technology and the wider field of photonics. Besides explaining in detail the physical principles and common techniques of laser operation, it also addresses such supplementary topics as ultrashort pulses, optical communications, optoelectronics, general optics, and quantum optics. References to selected scientific articles and textbooks aid readers in their further studies, and the cross-disciplinary approach makes this encyclopedia of huge benefit to a wide audience in industry, government, and academic research.
