Lasers - Utilization and operating conditions
Abstract
This general review paper examines the basic properties of electromagnetic radiation in the optical range (IR, visible, UV), and describes the principles of laser operation. The characteristics of the principal types of pulsed and CW lasers are presented; wavelengths, output powers, pulse durations, and operating conditions are given for each of them.
