Popis: This chapter is intended to serve as a general introduction to tunable lasers. Basic principles of the optical parametric oscillator and of those lasers based on vibronically broadened transitions are discussed. Also briefly discussed are such common matters as optical gain, laser efficiency, laser cavities, frequency selection and linewidth, and the production of ultrashort pulses by modelocking.
