Handbook of Lasers - Marvin J. (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Weber - Bog

The Handbook of Lasers is an authoritative, readily accessible compilation of lasers, their properties, and references. Organized by lasing media, each section is divided into laser types. Each type carries a brief description, followed by tables listing the lasing element or medium, host, lasing transition and wavelength, operating properties, primary literature citations, and for broadband lasers, reported tuning ranges. The importance and value of this handbook cannot be overstated. Serving as both an archive and an indicator of trends, it contains data useful for comparison with predictions and for developing models of processes, and it may reveal fundamental inconsistencies in the data.
