Frontiers of laser development
DOI: 10.1063/1.3022623
Early lasers had an extremely limited range of operational parameters, and so were of only limited usefulness. Now, however, laser action has been achieved in almost everything from semiconductor diodes to quinine water. What are some of the results of 12 years of laser research?
