Ultrafast Lasers and Optics for Experimentalists (Second Edition) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Ultrafast lasers are lasers which produce pulses of light with sub-picosecond duration. The opportunities that short pulsed light with high intensity and broad spectral bandwidth provide for the experimental science are manifold, and these lasers are an increasingly common sight across the natural sciences. As such, their use has moved from the hands of specialist laser physicists to a much more diverse range of other scientists.

This new edition features more information on different laser architectures, including explicit discussion of the differences between Ti:Sa and Yb:fibre lasers, and these are highlighted throughout where differences are relevant. This second edition also includes the expansion of several sections such as those on Gaussian beams, polarisation, dispersion, and nonlinear optics, so that they now include better explanations and more context, content, and examples. 'Ultrafast Lasers and Optics for Experimentalists (Second Edition)' is intended for diverse audience: it codifies the basic principles of ultrafast laser operation and practical use, and explains key physical phenomena in an accessible and intuitive way, without recourse to dense mathematics.

Autorenporträt

James David Pickering is a Lecturer in Physical Chemistry at the University of Leicester. Originally from Essex, he attended Notley High School and Braintree Sixth Form and obtained his MChem in Chemistry at Jesus College, University of Oxford, and his PhD in Chemistry at Aarhus University. Following this, he returned to the UK and worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford, where he also taught extensively in physical chemistry and mathematics. His research interests lie in the application of ultrafast and nonlinear spectroscopy. James is a committed and passionate scientific educator and teaches extensively across the physical natural sciences. He is an associate fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
