Purification and Isotope Separation by Laser Techniques

Abstract

Lasers have been utilized in various fields of study and have become one of the key components in our daily life since their discovery in 1960 by Maiman. In fact, we can find at least one or two laser diodes in our horne or office, which are used in compact discs for music and computers to pick up information by the focused beam. The use of high-power continuous or pulsed lasers enables precise marking of letters andjor figures on a plate. Keratotherapy by means of lasers is applied for the improvement of eyesight.
