This volume represents the most complete, up-to-date compilation of wavelengths of lasers in all media. Divided by type - solid, liquid, and gas - and listed in order of increasing wavelength, Handbook of Laser Wavelengths includes:
crystalline paramagnetic ion lasers

glass lasers

color center lasers

semiconductor lasers

polymer lasers

liquid and solid-state dye lasers

rare earth liquid lasers

neutral atom, ion, and molecular gas lasers

extreme ultraviolet and soft X-ray lasers

free electron lasers

nuclear-pumped lasers

lasers in nature

lasers without inversion
Brief descriptions of each type of laser are presented, followed by tables listing the laser wavelength, lasing element or medium, host, transition, and primary literature citations. A special section on commercial lasers is an added featured.
Handbook of Laser Wavelengths singularly serves as the essential reference for scientists and engineers searching for laser sources for specific applications as well as a survey of the developments that have occurred since the advent of the laser.
