Offering a fresh take on laser engineering, Laser Modeling: A Numerical Approach with Algebra and Calculus presents algebraic models and traditional calculus-based methods in tandem to make concepts easier to digest and apply in the real world. Each technique is introduced alongside a practical, solved example based on a commercial laser. Assuming some knowledge of the nature of light, emission of radiation, and basic atomic physics, the text: Explains how to formulate an accurate gain threshold equation as well as determine small-signal gain Discusses gain saturation and introduces a novel pass-by-pass model for rapid implementation of "what if?" scenarios Outlines the calculus-based Rigrod...

A comprehensive introduction to the burgeoning field of photonics The field of photonics is finding increasing applications across a broad range of industries. While many other books provide an overview of the subject, Fundamentals of Light Sources and Lasers closes a clear gap in the current literature by concentrating on the principles of laser operation as well as providing coverage of important concepts necessary to fully understand the principles involved. The scope of the book includes everything a professional needs to get up to speed in the field, as well as all the material necessary to serve as an excellent introductory laser course for students. Ideal for self-study as well as str...
Von den Rätseln der Quantenwelt bis zum Polarlicht - von Schwarzen Löchern bis zum GPS-System -von Teilchenbeschleunigern, dem Higgs und der Supersymmetrie bis zum Foucaultschen Pendel – dieses Buch bietet einen packenden Streifzug durch die spannendsten und aktuellsten Themen der modernen Physik! Auf jeweils einer Doppelseite wird dem Leser dabei mit vielen Bildern ein kompakter und klar verständlicher Einstieg in jeweils ein Thema und den Stand der Forschung geboten – und so insgesamt etwa 140 verschiedene Themen beleuchtet und jedes treffend erläutert. Dabei liegt die besondere Stärke des Buches in der klaren Sprache und den Erklärungen, die nahezu ganz ohne Formeln auskommen â€...
Bis Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts blieb der Wasserantrieb für Hochofengebläse und Hammerwerke eine Option mit geringen Investitionskosten. Die Unregelmäßigkeiten der Wasserversorgung waren durch den Bau von Reservoiren vermindert worden. Dampfmaschinen recycelten das Wasser. Mit dem Umstieg von Holzkohle auf Koks zur Erzschmelze in den Eisenhütten im englischen Coalbrookdale waren die naturgegebenen Grenzen von Wasserkraft und Holzkohle gefallen. Die anscheinend grenzenlos verfügbare Kohle beherrschte den Prozess der Eisenproduktion und bestimmte die Richtung von Kanal- und Wegebau. Der Wirkungsgrad der für Eisenhütten gebrauchten Energien sank mit Kohle zwar dramatisch, aber die Wende w...
