This book was released on 1990 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This program developed a stable, single-frequency, continuous-wave (CW) optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) for the application of injection seeding pulsed lasers. Progress has been made in the demonstration and performance characterization of doubly resonant optical parametric oscillator (DROs) operating near degeneracy pumped by 532-nm CW radiation obtained from second harmonic generation of diode-array-pumped Nd:YAG lasers. It was observed that the OPO reproduced the coherence of the pump radiation with little additional noise. A detailed analysis of the tuning and control properties of the DRO helpful for development of active stabilization techniques has been completed. Design considerations for a 2-micron DRO based on this analysis are presented. Stabilization of the DRO requires synchronized control of at least three parameters; temperature, pump frequency, and applied potential for electro-optic tuning are considered. Research on this topic is continuing motivated by a the exceptional coherence and tuning properties of the OPO and applications involving optical frequency synthesis that will extend far beyond injection seeding.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives a contemporary overview of the technologies of single-frequency fiber lasers. The development of single-frequency fiber lasers is one of the most significant achievements in the field of laser photonics over the past two decades. Owing to the crucial demands of a laser sources with highly stable single-frequency operation, narrow linewidth, low noise, scalable to high output power, compact and robustness structure, fiber lasers have been intensively studied since its introduction to the single-frequency laser community and they still continuously proceed to trigger the emergence of new technologies and applications. This book systematically demonstrates the single-frequency fiber laser technologies from fundamental principles to state-of-the-art progress. Details of selected typical applications of single-frequency fiber lasers are also given and discussed. The reader will acquire a good knowledge of the current situation within this important field.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lidar or laser radar, the depth-resolved remote measurement of atmospheric parameters with optical means, has become an important tool in the field of atmospheric and environmental remote sensing. In this volume the latest progress in the development of Lidar methods, experiments, and applications is described. The content is based on selected and thoroughly refereed papers presented at the 18th International Laser Radar Conference, Berlin, 22 - 26 July 1996. The book is divided into six parts which cover the topics of tropospheric aerosols and clouds, Lidar in space, wind, water vapor, troposheric trace gases and plumes, and stratospheric and mesospheric profiling. As a supplement to fundamental LIDAR textbooks this volume may serve as a guide through the blossoming field of modern Lidar techniques.
