<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The book describes the most advanced techniques for generating coherent light in the mid-infrared region of the spectrum. These techniques represent diverse areas of photonics and include heterojunction semiconductor lasers, quantum cascade lasers, tunable crystalline lasers, fiber lasers, Raman lasers, and optical parametric laser sources. The book provides a wealth of information on the essential principles and methods of the generation of coherent mid-infrared light and on some of its applications. The tutorial nature of the book makes it an excellent text for physicists and practicing engineers who want to use mid-infrared laser sources in spectroscopy, medicine, remote sensing and other fields, and for researchers in various disciplines requiring a broad introduction to the subject"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b><b>An important guide to the major techniques for generating coherent light in the mid-infrared region of the spectrum<br /><br /></b></b><i>Laser-based Mid-infrared Sources and Applications </i>gives a comprehensive overview of the existing methods for generating coherent light in the important yet difficult-to-reach mid-infrared region of the spectrum (2-20 μm) and their applications.</p> <p>The book describes major approaches for mid-infrared light generation including ion-doped solid-state lasers, fiber lasers, semiconductor lasers, and laser sources based on nonlinear optical frequency conversion, and reviews a range of applications: spectral recognition of molecules and trace gas sensing, biomedical and military applications, high-field physics and attoscience, and others.
