of nanoparticles.

The laser has become more and more important in scientific research and industrial applica‐ tions with the merits of excellent monochromaticity, coherence, and directivity. Now, the laser wavelength can cover the range from ultraviolet to terahertz and output laser perform‐ ance has significantly progressed in recent years. Therefore, due to the characteristics of non-invasiveness and high-power intensity, applications based on laser techniques have be‐ come more extensive. The aim of this book is to introduce and present the latest advance‐

In this book, two chapters are focused on the advanced diode laser and fiber laser. A highpower tunable GaN diode laser using external-cavity configuration with emission in the visible spectral range is shown first. Subsequently, a thulium–ytterbium short pulse fiber laser by cladding pumping is reported. In the application section, there are four chapters on laser ablation, laser-introduced fluorescence, laser treatment, and nonlinear optical response
