Laser is a device that amplifies the light produced due to stimulated emission of radiation and then emits light that is spatially and temporally coherent. Lasers operate in either pulsed mode or continuous mode. They are of various types, such as gas lasers, solid-state lasers, semiconductor lasers, dye lasers, fiber lasers, etc. These are used in laser printers, barcode scanners, optical disk drives, laser surgery, DNA sequencing, free-space optical communication, etc. This book outlines the processes and applications of lasers in detail. Such selected concepts that redefine this field have been presented herein. This book is meant for students who are looking for an elaborate reference on lasers.

The field of engineering that is concerned with the organization of the purchase, storage, warehousing, transport and distribution of goods and materials is known as logistics engineering. It also encompasses the aspects of repair capability, training, demand history, spares inventory, etc. The supply chain management is an important aspect of logistics engineering. It is concerned with the procurement of raw materials as well as the distribution of the products to the end customer. Some of the areas of focus in logistics engineering are purchasing, sourcing, inventory control, customer service, warehousing, etc. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the theory and practice of logistics engineering and management. Most of the topics introduced herein cover new techniques and the applications of this field. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this textbook.
