Ultrafast OpticsAuthor(s): Andrew M. Weiner\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc, United States\nImprint: John Wiley & Sons Inc\nISBN-13: 9780471415398, 978-0471415398\nSynopsis\nA comprehensive treatment of ultrafast optics\n\n This book fills the need for a thorough and detailed account of ultrafast optics. Written by one of the most preeminent researchers in the field, it sheds new light on technology that has already had a revolutionary impact on precision frequency metrology, high-speed electrical testing, biomedical imaging, and in revealing the initial steps in chemical reactions.\n\n Ultrafast Optics begins with a summary of ultrashort laser pulses and their practical applications in a range of real-world settings. Next, it reviews important background material, including an introduction to Fourier series and Fourier transforms, and goes on to cover:\n\nPrinciples of mode-locking\nUltrafast pulse measurement methods\nDispersion and dispersion compensati.
