Abstract

Lasers have attracted significant attentions since the first advent in 1960 due to their remarkable properties, such as monochromaticity, high coherence, good collimation, and high intensity. They have been widely used in a variety of fields, ranging from basic research to engineering applications, such as communications, industrial manufacture, and military affairs.
