The Use of Lasers in Science and Technology

This monograph traces the history of the development of modern lasers, describes the different types of lasers, and outlines their technical and optical characteristics. It summarizes and systematizes material reflecting advances in the development of various variants of atomic-ionization and intraresonator methods. This monograph analyzes the theoretical and experimental scientific results that led to the creation of lasers, the mechanisms of laser operation, types of lasers, and the application of lasers in science and technology-including the use of laser light in geodesy, architecture, and construction, based on scientific data. It also describes the use of laser light for cutting and welding, the application of lasers in thermal engineering, as a surgical scalpel, and the use of laser light in ophthalmology.
