This is the first book to appear in the English language on this topic, and concentrates on the physical processes which occur in the laser, in particular the kinetic processes which are responsible for the pumping of excited ion levels, and the production of population inversion. The most important types of electrical discharges used in this class of laser are discussed in detail, and all the major types of metal vapour ion laser are examined. A highly useful appendix tabulates all the known transitions used in metal vapour ion lasers. Metal Vapour Ion Lasers: Kinetic Processes and Gas Discharges provides a much needed review of this important field. It identifies current problem areas, and points to future research directions. It is an invaluable source for all those, both in industry and academia, working on the development or applications of metal vapour ion lasers, and for all those involved in gas laser research. It will also be of great interest to all those interested in the physics of gas discharges. The authors and translators have been involved with some of the key advances in the field over recent years.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePumping Mechanisms and Methods of Establishing PopulationInversion.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Gas Discharges Used in Metal Vapour Ion Lasers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Pulsed Metal Vapour Ion Lasers with Positive-Column DischargeExcitation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Metal Vapour Ion Lasers Using Recombining Plasmas.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Positive-Column Excitation of CW Metal Vapour Ion Lasers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Metal Vapour Ion Lasers Excited by Fast Electrons.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Multi-Colour CW Metal Vapour Ion Lasers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Appendices.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e References.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Physics [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Physics\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Physics%20%5BPH%5D%22\"\u003ePH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52298077864216,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471955634.jpg?v=1781735053","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/metal-vapour-ion-lasers-kinetic-processes-and-gas-discharges-hardback-9780471955634","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
