| Summary: | "This book describes the design of laser systems that use free-space optics for manufacturing, biomedical systems, laser radar, and laser displays, from the perspective of the laser systems engineer. It covers laser selection for the application; Gaussian beam propagation and associated non-idealities for aberrated and higher-order beams; details of the optical sub-system; scanning technologies, optical components, and system trades for these sub-systems; single-pixel or focal plane array detectors to collect an image or otherwise obtain information about the beam; and laser brightness and the power collected by the optical and detector sub-systems. The book ends by tying everything together from the point of view of photon detection, including detector types, geometries, sensitivities, and selection. The book emphasizes real-world design problems and the first-order equations and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components used to solve them"-- |
