Lasers

About this book

This is a textbook and general reference book on lasers, with the emphasis on basic laser principles and laser theory rather than a handbook or catalogue of laser devices. It brings together into a unified and carefully laid out exposition all the fundamental and important physical principles and properties of laser devices, including both the atomic physics of laser materials and the optical physics and practical performance of laser devices. A unique feature of this book is that it gives a complete detailed and accurate treatment of laser physics in all its aspects, building only on classical models, without requiring a quantum mechanical background of the reader.
