Book Description:
|
In the 16 years since the Bell Labs group first demonstrated the quantum cascade, it has evolved from a barely functional scientific curiosity into a powerful technology poised to offer new capabilities to a broad spectrum of real-world applications. This provides a snapshot of the cascade laser field in its adolescence, and familiarizes a wider audience of optical engineers with the far-reaching practical potential of these unique IR sources.
