DESCRIPTION:
Walter Koechner received a doctorate in electrical engineering from the University of Technology in Vienna, Austria, in 1965. He has published numerous papers in the fields of solid-state lasers, optics and solid-state physics. Dr. 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.
"The Laser Engineer's Bible" according to Brian Mathason. Anybody who needs to design or work with solid-state lasers should own a copy of this book!. The Bible M. King 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 desi. 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 fi
Written from an industrial perspective, Solid-State LaserEngineering discusses in detail the characteristics, design, construction, and performance of solid-state lasers. Emphasis is placed on engineering and practical considerations; phenomenological aspects using models are preferred to abstract mathematical derivations. This new edition has been extensively updated to account for recent developments in the areas of diode-laser pumping, laser materials, and nonlinear crystals.
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)
