Lasers: Their applications and operational requirements
Abstract
Present and potential applications of high power gas lasers to such diverse areas as industrial systems (alignment, Raman scattering, Doppler velocimeters, materials processing, etc.), isotope separation, thermonuclear fusion, military applications, etc. are discussed. Different operational characteristics are required for various laser applications, and these are delineated. A brief introduction is given to the general characteristics of gas lasers, and of gas-dynamics, electrical and chemical methods of excitation.
