A laser functions as a device emitting a coherent beam of light through optical amplification. Its fundamental principle lies in stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation. The term laser stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. Laser beams exhibit spatial coherence, enabling precise focusing onto small areas. Numerous devices leverage laser technology, including fiber-optic communication systems, laser printers, barcode scanners, optical disk drives, and materials welding equipment. Diverse types of lasers exist, categorized by the materials used in their construction, such as excimer lasers, gas lasers, solid-state lasers, chemical lasers, and fiber lasers. Laser technology represents a rapidly advancing field of science that has seen significant development in recent decades. The topics included in this book on fundamentals of laser technology are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. It includes topics that deal with the basic to the most complex concepts and approaches of this area. It aims to serve as a resource guide for students and facilitate the growth of the discipline.
