{"product_id":"9780819498212","title":"Solid State Lasers: Tunable Sources and Passive Q-Switching Elements","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe possibility of controlling and continuously changing laser emission wavelengths in a wide spectral range without using external elements based on nonlinear optics (to shift the fundamental wavelength) is of primary importance to scientists. With the advent of novel high-power pumping sources, it is possible to design and operate a new class of tunable solid state laser devices for various applications. This book demonstrates the design of new laser materials based on quantum mechanical principles, spectroscopic properties of transition-metal ions, and ion-host interaction. This approach includes the theory of electronic structure of transition-metal ions, modeling of energy transfer and nonradiative processes, and symmetry considerations in spectroscopic analysis of d orbitals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SPIE Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47021995983088,"sku":"9780819498212","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780819498212_p0.jpg?v=1763749899","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780819498212","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
