Conclusions and final remarks.This book provides an overview of lasers, silicon sensors, and practical solutions to beam profiling which has never been presented in a single text. Understanding laser beam characteristics before and after interaction with an object provides intrinsic insights into the nature of the object.Interdisciplinary students, researchers, and scientists experimenting using laser systems. Optics students with a need visualise the translation of lasers and sensors from a theoretical to a practical perspective.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Dr. Akhil Kallepalli is a Research Associate in the Optics Group, School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Glasgow. Dr. David B. James is a Senior Lecturer and Head of the Centre for Electronic Warfare, Information and Cyber.Title from PDF title page (viewed on May 8, 2022).
