Book Description
The first direct nuclear pumped laser to operate on a visible wavelength is described, whereas previous nuclear lasers have operated in the infrared. The Sandia Pulsed Reactor II was used as a high flux source of neutrons that pumped a helium-mercury gas laser via the high energy products of the /sup 10/B(n, .cap alpha.)/sup 7/Li nuclear reaction. No other source of energy was utilized. Lasing was observed at 6150 A, corresponding to the 7/sup 2/P/sub 3/2/--7/sup 2/S/sub /sup 1///sub 2// mercury ion transition. The thermal neutron flux threshold for lasing was approximately 1 x 10/sup 16/n/cm/sup 2/-sec, and the laser output was continuous over the 400 .mu.sec operating time of the nuclear reactor. The laser signal appeared to increase linearly with the thermal neutron flux, up to 5.8 x 10/sup 16/n/cm/sup 2/-sec, the highest flux used.

Book Description
Lasers continue to be an amazingly robust field of activity. Anyone seeking a photon source is now confronted with an enormous number of possible lasers and laser wavelengths to choose from, but no single, comprehensive source to help them make that choice. The Handbook of Lasers provides an authoritative compilation of lasers, their properties, and original references in a readily accessible form. Organized by lasing media-solids, liquids, and gases-each section is subdivided into distinct laser types. Each type carries a brief description, followed by tables listing the lasing element or medium, host, lasing transition and wavelength, operating properties, primary literature citations, and, for broadband lasers, reported tuning ranges. The importance and value of the Handbook of Lasers cannot be overstated. Serving as both an archive and as an indicator of emerging trends, it reflects the state of knowledge and development in the field, provides a rapid means of obtaining reference data, and offers a pathway to the literature. It contains data useful for comparison with predictions and for developing models of processes, and may reveal fundamental inconsistencies or conflicts in the data.

Book Description
This book covers the history of lasers with nuclear pumping (Nuclear Pumped Lasers, NPLs). This book showcases the most important results and stages of NPL development in The Russian Federal Nuclear Center (VNIIEF) as well as other Russian and international laboratories, including laboratories in the United States. The basic science and technology behind NPLs along with potential applications are covered throughout the book. As the first comprehensive discussion of NPLs, students, researchers, and application engineers interested in high energy lasers will find this book to be an extremely valuable source of information about these unique lasers.
