Handbook of Laser Wavelengths

This volume represents the most complete, up-to-date compilation of wavelengths of lasers in all media. Divided by type - solid, liquid, and gas - and listed in order of increasing wavelength, Handbook of Laser Wavelengths includes:o crystalline paramagnetic ion laserso glass laserso color center laserso semiconductor laserso polymer laserso liquid and solid-state dye laserso rare earth liquid laserso neutral atom, ion, and molecular gas laserso extreme ultraviolet and soft X-ray laserso free electron laserso nuclear-pumped laserso lasers in natureo lasers without inversionBrief descriptions of each type of laser are presented, followed by tables listing the laser wavelength, lasing element or medium, host, transition, and primary literature citations. A special section on commercial lasers is an added featured.Handbook of Laser Wavelengths singularly serves as the essential reference for scientists and engineers searching for laser sources for specific applications as well as a survey of the developments that have occurred since the advent of the laser.
