Ultrafast Lasers and Optics for Experimentalists (Second Edition) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book is designed to equip someone with minimal experience using lasers and optics with the knowledge and skills necessary to work effectively using an ultrafast laser system in their lab. This new edition features more information on different laser architectures, including explicit discussion of the differences between Ti:Sa and Yb:fibre lasers, and these are highlighted throughout where differences are relevant. Other sections have been expanded so that they now include better explanations and more context, content, and examples. 'Ultrafast Lasers and Optics for Experimentalists (Second Edition)' is intended for diverse audience: it codifies the basic principles of ultrafast laser operation and practical use, and explains key physical phenomena in an accessible and intuitive way, without recourse to dense mathematics.

Key Features:

• An accessible introduction to ultrafast lasers and optics, designed specifically to allow a non-specialist to quickly get up to speed and be productive in their lab.
• Complex physical phenomena explained clearly and accessibly without dense mathematics.
• Sufficient information tailored to provide an experimental scientist (not necessarily laser specialists) with the tools to work effectively in the lab - guided by the author's extensive hands-on practical experience.
• The book is specifically designed to assume a minimum of knowledge of lasers and optics initially.
