Advances in the fields of applied experimental, and theoretical quantum mechanics are discussed. Investigations of free electron lasers, far IR/submillimeter lasers, and pulsed metal vapor lasers are reported, as are material effects, components, and applications, including microwave biological effects. Picosecond phenomena are described, and experimentation with mercury-halide lasers, multiphoton dissociation of molecules, laser chemistry, and solid state laser materials are detailed. Attention is given to multiphoton processes in atoms, along with examinations of cavities and propagation, visible and tunable lasers, IR molecular lasers, and gas laser kinetics. Approaches to lasers in fusion technology are explored, and polarization, collective atomic phenomena, and the bistability of multiphoton lasers are outlined.
