Features: This book is an authoritative monograph that comprehensively and systematically discusses the characteristics, design, structure, and applications of solid-state lasers. The book is divided into 11 chapters. It first introduces the basic principles of lasers and solid-state laser materials (Chapters 1 and 2), then systematically elaborates on the structure of solid-state lasers from aspects such as oscillators, amplifiers, resonators, and pumping systems (Chapters 3 to 6). It also discusses issues such as heat generation, cooling, and component damage in lasers (Chapters 7 and 11), introduces the applications of Q-switching, mode-locking, and nonlinear technologies in solid-state lasers (Chapters 8 to 10), and finally covers laser safety and conversion coefficients (Appendices A and B). This book is suitable for technical personnel in industries such as laser technology, optoelectronics, opto-information science and technology, optoelectronic instruments, laser processing, and optical communication. It can also serve as a reference for faculty and students of relevant disciplines in higher education institutions.
