Abstract

In this chapter we will discuss the general principles of lasers and study the most important tunable lasers that are of primary spectroscopic interest. Since many tunable lasers are optically pumped by fixed-frequency lasers we will also describe the most useful types of such lasers. For a more thorough account of laser physics we refer the reader to standard textbooks [8.1–10].
