Description and Table of Contents

Description

The present rapid expansion of research work on picosecond lasers and their application makes it difficult to survey and comprehend the large number of publications in this field. This book aims to provide a thorough introduction to the field starting with the very basic and moving on to an advanced level. The authors have provided a guide for physicists, chemists, biologists and engineers as well as for students in these fields who wish to become familiar with the generation and measurement of ultrashort light pulses and their application.
