Solid-State Mid-Infrared Laser Sources (Topics in Applied Physics)

Buy
According to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, the "middle infrared" region covers the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum between 400 and 4000 wave numbers, which corresponds to the wavelength range 2.5-25 gin. This range is of particular interest for many applications, especially for spectroscopy, since the electromagnetic frequencies involved coincide with frequencies of the internal vibrational motion of most molecules (the "molecular fingerprint" region). In our book, we define the "mid-infrared" more loosely to cover a slightly broader range starting from ~ 2 gm wavelength. On the longer wavelength end, we even included two chapters on terahertz wave generation, reflecting the fact that as terahertz waves are pushed further to higher frequencies, they converge with the long-wavelength infrared domain (for example, a frequency of 10 THz corresponds to a wavelength of 30 ~tm).

The development of solid-state laser sources in the mid-infrared opens unprecedented possibilities in spectroscopy~ as compared to traditionally used Fourier-transform spectrometers. The obvious advantages of lasers are directionality, coherence, narrow linewidth or small pulse duration, and high spectral brightness. Compact and efficient nfid-infrared laser sources can serve advantageously for remote light detection and ranging (LIDAR) (down to parts-per-billion in volume) of many trace gases and vapors that are important in pollution detection, and atmospheric chemistry. Other opportunities for fixed-wavelength and tunable mid-infrared laser sources include medical applications (e.g. microsurgery, dentistry, keratectomy or non-invasive diagnostics by means of breath analysis), ultrasensitive detection of drugs and explosives (down to one part per trillion) using photoacoustie or cavity ringdown spectroscopy, and free-space communications.

Access Database Design & Programming (3rd Edition)
Access Database Design & Programming (3rd Edition)

From an Access standpoint, this book is chock full of goodies. From the point of view of a ColdFusion developer, I would say this much: if forced to choose between this book and the previous, the Cookbook, I would probably go Cookbook. But, as I mentioned in the previous review, if you work with both Access on the desktop and on the web,...

Optical Fiber Fusion Splicing (Springer Series in Optical Sciences)
Optical Fiber Fusion Splicing (Springer Series in Optical Sciences)

Significant advances in optical fiber technology have created a need for an up-to-date book about optical fiber fusion splicing. Over the past 15 years, a variety of new optical fibers including rare-earth-doped fiber, dispersioncompensating fiber, dispersion-matched fiber pairs, and microstructured fiber have been introduced. These...

Essays on Housing and Pensions: A European Perspective (Essays in Real Estate Research)
Essays on Housing and Pensions: A European Perspective (Essays in Real Estate Research)
Demographic trends put a burden on EU pension provision. As the sustainability of pension systems is addressed by current pension reforms, lower benefit levels are projected. In this scenario, households may want to consider supplementing their public pension income. As their own residence is on average their most valuable asset, its...
