Advances in Laser Performance and New Principles of Precision Measuring Instruments

This book highlights a comprehensive introduction to double-beam laser and its application to a series of innovative instruments for precision measurement. The first two chapters introduce the structures and properties of double-beam laser, which become the foundation of more than a dozen innovative instruments in the second half of the book. The book covers two types of lasers: the frequency-split orthogonal-polarization HeNe lasers and the microchip solid-state lasers. Surrounding the two...
