Perspective.Organic Lasers and Organic Photonics is the first book, since the early 1990s, to address the technology and applications of organic dye lasers and provide an insightful perspective into the vast fields of organic lasers and their applications. The latest generation of organic lasers have opened the horizon to the realm of miniaturized devices with their own array of applications. This book also provides a comprehensive insight into the world of organic dye molecules with chapters that also explore the exciting fields optogenetics, organic laser medicine, and quantum communications. This co-edited book has been compiled by leading experts in the field of organic lasers and organic photonics, each providing a unique insight into the practical applications of such lasers as well as electrically-pumped organic semiconductor coherent sources, their physics, technology and future prospects. Part of Series in Coherent Sources and Applications.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.F.J. Duarte is an award-winning laser physicist who is a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Physics as well as a Fellow of the Optical Society. As a leading expert in the field of tuneable organic lasers and their applications, Duarte also has a vast knowledge and research experience in coherent imaging, high-power tuneable lasers, interferometric microscopy, laser metrology, narrow-linewidth laser oscillators and numerous other related fields. He is currently exploring the physics of organic semiconductor coherent sources and quantum space-to-space communications, rapidly developing fields with exciting horizons. Other contributors to this book include Peter Hegemann, Suneel Kateriya, Alfons Penzkofer, Sergei Popov, Kathleen M. Vaeth and Elena Vasileva, all of whom are experts in their research areas and provide distinct perspectives to the rapidly-expanding fields of organic lasers and organic photonics.Title from PDF title page (viewed on January 16, 2019).
