- Summary:
- "Sometimes it is advantageous for the outputs of several lasers to be combined on a single target. This book summarizes all of the known laser-beam combining methods as of the year 2015. Each method is described in enough detail that an engineer or physicist can understand it. The author then addresses the advantages and/or disadvantages of each method. Extensive references are listed for further study."-- Provided by publisher.
