Innovative discoveries involving laser beams and their propagation properties are at the heart of Laser Beam Propagation: Generation and Propagation of Customized Light. This book captures the essence of laser beam propagation. Divided into three parts, it explores the fundamentals of how laser beams propagate, and provides novel methods to describe and characterize general laser beams. Part one covers the physical optics approach to the propagation of optical waves, the concept of plane waves, the mathematical description of diffractionLaser beamsLaser beams.621.36/6Forbes AndrewFlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910789003003321Laser beam propagation3783442UNINA
