A propos de l'auteur
Following his PhD, Warren Nagourney undertook postdoctoral research at Columbia Radiation Laboratory, Columbia University, New York, after which he joined the physics department of the University of Washington as a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in 1977. He remained with the department until his retirement, as a Research Professor, in 2007.
Résumé
This book discusses theoretical and practical aspects for generating and manipulating laser radiation. The second edition includes a new complete chapter on fiber lasers, as well as new coverage of mode locked fiber lasers, comb generation in a micro-resonator, and periodically poled optical waveguides.
