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.
