Advances in Laser and Optics Research

This book gathers the latest research from around the globe on the subject of lasers and optics research. It discusses topics that include selective laser sintering/melting and laser erosion with Nd: YAG lasers; pulsed laser deposition of nanostructured oxides; high efficiency diode pumped Nd - YAG lasers and in the micro- and nano-structuring of solids; and, features of polarisation and intensity profile of output beam from a dual-crystal solid-state laser system and context-sensitive recurrent filters for visual motion analysis.
