Effects of High-Power Laser Radiation describes the interactions between high-power laser beams and matter. This book is divided into eight chapters that particularly focus on interactions such as heating, melting, vaporization, and plasma production. The opening chapters examine the laser properties, types, measurement techniques, and safety aspects. The succeeding chapters deal with a variety of physical phenomena and mechanisms of laser-induced particle emission, as well as the initiation and development of gas breakdown phenomena. Other chapters explore the effects and damage of various interactions in transparent materials and on biological systems. The final chapter looks into the practical applications of the various laser effects to diverse technological fields. This book will prove useful to scientists interested in the physical phenomena of laser effects and engineers interested in practical applications of laser effects.

Possible mechanisms responsible for laser-induced breakdown in super-high pressure gases are investigated both theoretically and experimentally. It is shown that the breakdown mechanism involves energy gain of free electrons by acceleration in the incident electromagnetic field while undergoing collisions with neutrals, and subsequent electron-impact ionization. This mechanism is described by classical microwave breakdown theory and favorably compares with the experimental measurements. Experimental breakdown threshold data in He, Ar, H2, and N2 was obtained over the pressure range 100-30,000 psi. Plasmas are produced in He, Ar, H2, and N2 over the pressure range 100-30,000 psi. The radiation from a giant-pulse ruby laser is focused within a pressure cell having three quartz windows and capable of withstanding 60,000 psi. Breakdown threshold data is taken for comparison with theory. Kerr cell photographs of the focal region provide time resolution of the macroscopic growth of the plasma. Two possible mechanisms are evaluated: multiquantum absorption and electron-impact ionization. The latter is analyzed both quantum mechanically by the inverse Bremsstrahlung theory and classically by microwave theory.

Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and dis seminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis, (CINDAS) *at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the ac tivity was transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volume were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 19 (thesis year 1974) a total of 10,045 theses titles from 20 Canadian and 209 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for theses titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. The organization of Volume 19 is identical to that of past years. It consists of theses titles arranged by discipline and by university within each discipline.
