Lasers continue to be an amazingly robust field of activity. Anyone seeking a photon source is now confronted with an enormous number of possible lasers and laser wavelengths to choose from, but no single, comprehensive source to help them make that choice. The Handbook of Lasers provides an authoritative compilation of lasers, their properties, and original references in a readily accessible... Read more

Biography
Marvin J. Weber
"The Handbooks are particularly valued for their breadth and authority…their success has undoubtedly been due to the most professional approach and guidance of the Editor-in-Chief, Marvin Weber, who has had a most distinguished and active research career in the laser field."
-C.L.M. Ireland in Optics & Laser Technology, 30, 1998
