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.

Summarizes the discovery and properties of optical materials. This book covers advances in optical crystals, glasses and plastics, laser host materials, phase conjugation materials, linear electrooptic materials, nonlinear optical materials, magnetooptic materials, elastooptic materials, photorefractive materials, and liquid crystals.

Compiles the physical properties of materials used in various types of lasers and optical systems. This book provides data tabulations and references for a range of the important optical materials, including crystals, glasses, polymers, metals, liquids, and gases.
