Performance of solid-state lasersimproved amazingly during five decades. Nowadays, solid-state lasers remain one of the most rapidlydeveloping branches of laser science and become an increasingly important tool for modern technology. Thisbook represents a selection of chapters exhibiting various investigation directions in the field of solid-statelasers and the cutting edge of related applications. The materials are contributed by leading researchers andeach chapter represents a comprehensive study reflecting advances in modern laser physics. Consideredtopics are intended to meet the needs of both specialists in laser system design and those who use lasertechniques in fundamental science and applied research. This book is the result of efforts of experts fromdifferent countries. I would like to acknowledge the authors for their contribution to the book. I also wish toacknowledge Vedran Kordic for indispensable technical assistance in the book preparation and publishing. ER -
