This second edition addresses the theory and practice of very important techniques for lossless laser beam shaping. New beam shaping methods, advanced beam profile measurement and new material on optics and software have been added. This book not only provides a working understanding of the fundamentals, but also offers insight into the potential application of laser beam profile shaping in laser system design. It is a valuable tool for optical engineers, scientist and students.
