Abstract

This first Laser Systems and Applications course introduce the student to the theory and practice of CW and pulsed lasers. At the end of the course, the student will understand the principles of laser operation, safety guidelines, measurement of output beam characteristics, basic troubleshooting, and applications. This will allow the student to understand and operate lasers in research, commercial, and industrial settings, and will give him or her the skills to choose appropriate laser systems and the knowledge to setup and operate them.
