Book Description
Color-center physics has been an active field in solid state physics for almost seven decades. The color-center laser has played a major role in the development of the physics and technology of modern lasers and their applications. This collection of key papers is organized into three sections: the first section contains papers on the fundamental research that preceded the development of the color-center laser; the second section covers the discovery and development of the several types of lasers; the final section contains examples of applications of the color-center laser.
