hardcover. This book covers the preparation and underlying science of laser materials. Series: Cambridge Studies in Modern Optics. Num Pages: 414 pages, 124 b/w illus. BIC Classification: PHJ; TTBL. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 247 x 174 x 29. Weight in Grams: 930.
This book is concerned with the underlying science and design of laser materials. It emphasizes the principles of crystal–field engineering and discusses the basic physical concepts that determine laser gain and nonlinear frequency conversion in optical crystals. A concise review of the essential underlying science is presented, and the predictive capabilities of crystal-field engineering are developed to show how modification of the symmetry and composition of optical centres can improve laser performance. Applications of the principles of crystal-field engineering to a variety of optical crystals are also discussed in relation to the performances of laser devices. This book will be ... Read more

Reviews for Crystal-Field Engineering of Solid-State Laser Materials
'This book is quite clearly a graduate-level textbook for materials scientists and condensed matter physicists, but the wide-ranging review of laser materials will also make it an attractive reference book for specialists in the solid-state spectroscopy and laser fields.' John F. Ryan, The Times Higher Education Supplement
