| adam_text | A well-known introduction to the physical and engineering principles of laser operation and design, this
second edition includes much new material, especially in the areas of solid-state lasers, semiconductor
lasers, and laser cavities. It now also contains a new chapter on laser operation above threshold, including
extensive discussion of laser amplifiers; details of new types of lasers; and a new section on diode-pumping of
solid-state lasers.
The book develops the fundamental wave and quantum properties of light, and then uses those properties to
develop the concepts of population inversion, gain, saturation intensity, laser operation above threshold,
excitation or pumping, and cavity properties. It examines the development of population inversions in low-den¬
sity materials as well as in. three- or four-level systems of high-density materials. Included are extensive
accounts of both solid-state and semiconductor lasers, and detailed descriptions and data tables of the most
common lasers.
Throughout the text, this book uses simple explanations on key concepts to lead the reader from the basics of
laser action to advanced topics in laser physics and engineering. Thorough explanations, worked examples, and
many homework problems make this book essential reading for undergraduates and first-year graduates
in science and engineering talcing courses on lasers. Researchers will find the summaries of key types of lasers,
the use of many unique theoretical descriptions, and the extensive bibliography a valuable source of reference
for their careers.
