Reviews"This book is an easy-to-follow guide that requires a minimalbackground in algebra. The use of simple language, drawings, tablesand multiple-choice quizzes make this book an ideal text foradvanced high school students, undergraduates studying physics andengineering, and professionals who work with lasers but lack aformal knowledge of the subject." ( Optics & PhotonicNews , April 2009) "College-level libraries strong in science and technology titleswill appreciate this easy introduction guide to laser technology,which moves from the foundations of how lasers work and how theyare used to discussions of specific advanced laser types,applications, and the science involved."
