This book is primarily for newcomers to sciences, technology, engineering, and medicine interested in the field of electromagnetic radiation’s non-laser and laser sources and their applications. The book concisely discusses the sources’ emission mechanisms, fabrication, generated radiation properties, and limitations. The classification of laser sources is emission mechanism-based, unlike the traditional classification of solids, liquids, and gases. Also, this book clears a few misconceptions about laser description from earlier books. It emphasizes the research and commercial applications of lasers; non-laser techniques are not included. The applications where non-laser methods are included discuss lasers’ advantages and disadvantages. The repetition of some basic concepts in the book is intentional to provide sufficient background for a new idea.

Bansi Lal earned an MSc in physics from the University of Kashmir, India, and a PhD in physics from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IITK), India. He was a research scientist at Central Electronics Ltd CEL., Sahibabad, India, where he designed and developed commercial pulsed dye lasers. He was also Chief Scientific Officer at the Centre for Lasers and Photonics, IITK, India. He was Visiting Scientist at Mississippi State University, USA, and Dean of Sciences at Lovely Professional University, India. He has authored about forty publications in international journals, fifty refereed national and international conference papers, one book chapter, and two technical reports, and has edited national and international conference proceedings.
