From its initial publication titled Laser Beam Scanning in 1985 to Handbook
n
of Optical and Laser Scanning, now in its second edition, this reference has d
d
kept professionals and students at the forefront of optical scanning technology.

Carefully and meticulously updated in each iteration, the book continues to be the L b
most comprehensive scanning resource on the market. It examines the breadth and a
o
depth of subtopics in the field from a variety of perspectives.

The Second Edition covers:
r
• Technologies such as piezoelectric devices
S o
• Applications of laser scanning such as Ladar (laser radar)
c f
• Underwater scanning and laser scanning in CTP

a
O
As laser costs come down and power and availability increase, the potential n
applications for laser scanning continue to increase. Bringing together the p
n
knowledge and experience of 26 authors from England, Japan, and the United
t
i
States, the book provides an excellent resource for understanding the principles n i
c
of laser scanning. It illustrates the significance of scanning in society today and
g
a
would help the user get started in developing system concepts using scanning. It
can be used as an introduction to the field and as a reference for persons involved l

in any aspect of optical and laser beam scanning.
