 An
introductory text to the physical and engineering principles of laser operation and design
written for senior undergraduates or first year graduate students. Silvfast (physics and
electrical engineering, U. of Central Florida) road tested the presentation in his own
classes and devotes ample space to examples, and homework problems to bolster the subjects
of fundamental wave properties and quantum properties of light, laser amplifiers, laser
resonators, laser systems, and frequency multiplication of laser beams. Includes
illustrations. |
