Kinetic Processes in Gases and Molecular Lasers

This book provides a complete systematic analysis of the processes of relaxation kinetics and the study of physical models of gas lasers. It begins by introducing the reader to the basic theory and fundamental problems in relaxation processes in gasses, and goes on to examine the new trend of physico-chemical kinetics in the field of laser emission. Finally, it presents the operating principles and physical models of all fundamental types of gas lasers.
