Laser Techniques and Applications provides a firm grounding in the fundamental concepts over governing the field on Optics. This textbook is useful for the students of B.E.,B.Tech. and M.Tech. courses. The present book is an attempt to treat the subject of Laser as an introductory course. Attempts have also been made to cover the frontline areas in the subject. Photo Dissociation Laser, Ion and Atomic Laser, Molecular Lasers, Electro Ionization Laser, Chemical Lasers and Plasma Lasers have been discussed in details. Apart from Small Gas Laser and He-Ne Laser, CO2 Laser, and Eximer Laser have also been highlighted. Solid State Laser, Semiconductor Laser and Dye Laser have been discussed properly in the present edition. The development of Laser and its various applications in Communications, Radiation, medicine, Holography etc., has been given due importance.
Some of the future applications of Laser are as a general research laboratory tools for alignment, as a tool for surveying and alignment, for medical instruments-in treatments and surgery of eyes, as a fixed optical frequency source for interferometer illumination and for Raman spectroscopy, as a narrow beam source for mashing operations-cutting, trimming, drilling and welding, and as a tool for mining and tunnelling through rocks.
