| Summary |
"Laser and photonic technologies and solutions influenced many aspects of everyday life. With new and significant recent scientific discoveries in their fields, systems perspectives and integrated design approaches can improve even further the impact in critical areas of challenge. Yet this knowledge is dispersed across several disciplines and research arenas. This book brings together a multidisciplinary group of experts in many of these areas to foster increased understanding of the ways in which systems perspectives may influence laser and photonic innovations and application integration" Provided by publisher |
