Due to the rapid progress in laser technology a wealth of novel fundamental and applied applications of lasers in atomic and plasma physics have become possible. This book focuses on the interaction of high intensity lasers with matter. It reviews the state of the art of high power laser sources, intensity laser-atom and laser-plasma interactions, laser matter interaction at relativistic intensities, and QED with intense lasers.
Traditional branches of optics describe the behavior of light from different points of view (geometrical, wave and energetic). All of them were logically united in the famous book Principles of Optics by M. Born and E. Wolf, first published in 1969. However, over the past 60 years, optics has changed radically: the invention of the laser led to the emergence of new branches of optics (coherence optics, holography, optics of ultra-fast laser pulses, etc.) and mathematical tools of modern physical theories (quantum mechanics, electronics and microwave technology, etc.) were applied to new presentations of traditional branches of optics. At the same time, in mathematical and physical theories, a heuristic approach based on plausible reasoning (modeling, analogies, dualities etc.) and a first principal method were developing. This work unites the traditional and modern branches of optics into a single theory by using modern mathematical tools and a heuristic approach.
Proceedings of SPIE present the original research papers presented at SPIE conferences and other high-quality conferences in the broad-ranging fields of optics and photonics. These books provide prompt access to the latest innovations in research and technology in their respective fields. Proceedings of SPIE are among the most cited references in patent literature.
Recent progress in ICT has exceeded our expectations for meeting the requirement of multimedia society in the 21st century. The FSOC is considered to be one of the key technologies for realizing very high speed multi GbPs large-capacity terrestrial and aerospace communications. In FSOC, the optical beam propagation in the turbulent atmosphere is severely affected by various factors suspended in the channel. Wavefront aberration correcting with continuous beam alignment are the key requirements for a successful installation of an FSOC system which are the main contributions in our book. Establishment of FSOC setups, development of accurate weather station, measurement of atmospheric attenuati...
