The principal techniques for obtaining tunable laser radiation from the near-ultraviolet to the infrared region of the spectrum are reviewed both from the point of view of their fundamental physical principles and their state-of-the-art device operation and technology. An attempt has been made to give a comprehensive account of the most recent applications of these techniques. The term 'tunable lasers' is arbitrarily defined to mean lasers which are broadly tunable over 100 per cm or more, and includes dye lasers, optical parametric oscillators, spin-flip Raman lasers and semiconductor diode lasers. The tunable lasers are compared and contrasted in terms of tuning ranges, powers, linewidths and stability; it is concluded that where the systems overlap they are complementary, with no one system being better in every respect for all applications.
