A cutting-edge guide to the latest innovations in laser technology

The latest addition to the Wiley Series in Lasers and Applications, Phase Conjugate Laser Optics provides a complete review of the state of the art of phase conjugate lasers, including laser demonstrations, performance, technology, and a selection of the most important class of nonlinear media. Comprehensive coverage of all aspects of phase conjugate lasers includes:

• Basic principles, properties, and materials
• Phase conjugate laser architectures
• Gas and liquid Brillouin phase-conjugating mirrors
• Solid-state materials
• Brillouin-like organic crystals and glasses
• Laser designs for high-energy and high-power operation
• Pulse compression
• Photorefractive conjugators and applications
• The nonlinear effects of liquid crystal
• Self-adaptive holographic loop resonators

Featuring the expertise of twenty-five scientific professionals, all of whom have made significant contributions to the fields of optical material sciences, laser physics, and laser engineering, Phase Conjugate Laser Optics represents an important resource for both researchers and students of laser technology.
