Encyclopedia of Laser Physics and Technology

The open access "Encyclopedia of Laser Physics and Technology" by Dr. Rüdiger Paschotta is well-known and very often consulted by researchers. I already have mention it briefly in an earlier post (literature search I) but i think it is really worth to draw your attention again on it by a separate post to this valuable and helpful encyclopedia.

Around 570 articles are listed, still growing. The navigation is clearly laid out. Most of the articles are very detailed, inlcuding references to scientific articles. They explain

"the physical principles and common techniques in laser technology, while also covering major areas of fiber-optic technology and nonlinear optics, and addressing supplementary topics like ultrashort pulses, optical communications, general optics, optoelectronics, and quantum optics."

quoted from the encyclopedia. During august 2010 around 160 000 page hits have been counted. If you havent yet known this encyclopedia, then click the link and take a minute for it. Test some keywords! You will not regret it. Have fun.
