Synopsis

Laser technologies offer multiple benefits in the synthesis and characterisation of nanomaterials. In synthesis the higher selectivity and shorter processing times of laser-based techniques can help you to save time and minimise waste, compared to conventional fabrication processes. Characterisation with lasers allows you to study nonlinear optical effects which provide better molecular selectivity and reduced background signals.

Beginning with chapters introducing the principles of lasers and non-linear optics, this book will guide you through using laser-based techniques for the synthesis and characterisation of nanomaterials. Laser sintering and melting are included, as well as approaches to 3D printing by using multiphoton lithography. Various characterisation techniques are described, including multiscale and ultrafast dynamics, and LIBS.

Both experienced practitioners and those aspiring to use lasers in their work will find this book a useful and inspiring guide.
