DESCRIPTION:
Koechner is founder of Fibertek, Inc., a research company specializing in the design, development and production of advanced solid-state lasers, optical radars, and remote sensing systems.. Walter Koechner received a doctorate in electrical engineering from the University of Technology in Vienna, Austria, in 1965. Dr. He has published numerous papers in th
This edition has been extensively revised and updated to account for recent developments in the areas of diode-laser pumping, laser materials and nonlinear crystals, and entire new sections have been added.. Since its first edition almost 30 years ago this book has become the standard in the field of solid-state lasers for scientists, engineers and graduate students. Emphasis is placed on engineering and practical considerations; phenomenological aspects using models are preferred to abstract mathematical derivations. Written from an industrial perspective this book discusses in detail the characteristics, design, construction, and performance of solid-state lasers
Brian Mathason said The Laser Engineer's Bible. Anybody who needs to design or work with solid-state lasers should own a copy of this book!. M. King said The Bible. Need I say more? This book is the de facto standard for designing DPSSL systems. It covers a broad range of topics without being overly equation based. It covers military hardened resonator designs, it covers Q switching, it covers some flashlamp designs, it covers driver design, it covers thermal management and goes on and on and on. This is the Gospel according to Koechner This book has aided my career as a laser engineer more than I can speak to.Thanks Walter, hopefully s. A Customer said A good source of information about solid state lasers. The book is very thorough in its coverage of the physics of and design of a wide variety of solid state lasers. Plenty of examples of laser performance are included. The book assumes a senior or first year graduate school level of knowledge for the theory discussions of the first few chapters. There is enough useful information to make the book valuable for the professional laser engineer, as well.
FROM A REVIEW OF THE PREVIOUS EDITION" covers practical and engineering aspects of solid laser design, construction and testing an excellent book and a valuable resource for all practicing laser scientists and engineers."(AUSTRALIAN & NEW ZEALAND PHYSICIST)
