Al-Khursan Y1 - 2012-02-17 PY - 2012 T1 - Rare-Earth-Doped Low Phonon Energy Halide Crystals for Mid-Infrared Laser Sources N2 - This book deals with theoretical and experimental aspects of solid-state lasers, including optimum waveguide design of end pumped and diode pumped lasers. Nonlinearity, including the nonlinear conversion, up frequency conversion and chirped pulse oscillators are discussed. Some new rare-earth-doped lasers, including double borate and halide crystals, and feedback in quantum dot semiconductor nanostructures are included.
