Engineering of Solid State Lasers

The lecture first introduces to physical phenomena used in development of modern solid state lasers. Furthermore, practical approaches used in design of solid state lasers will be explained. An introduction to modeling and simulation of the lasing process follows. Based on this, modeling of basic solid state laser performance using a Commercial software package will be shown. In addition, a practical familiarization with various optical, opto-mechanical, and opto-electrical components used in solid state laser is aimed.
