My current plan is to cover a) what they are b) how they work (hopefully using some of the ideas from class to describe the gain mechanism, spectral width, etc.) c) why people are interested in them, and d) some proposed / current applications. I'm open to any feedback or suggestions you may have. Thanks, -- Marcius Extavour __O _`\<,_ (_)/ (_)
