Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:19:03
Abstract
Basic physics, data and applications of various laser sources
Objective
Students will know main features and selected applications of some important laser sources
Content
Based on "Quantum Electronics I" the main features of some important laser sources, particularly tunable laser systems, are discussed. Emphasis is put on gas lasers, dye lasers, semiconductor and solid state lasers. Laser applications in spectroscopy, sensing, material processing and medicine will be presented.
