Principles of Lasers
Svelto, Orazio
Principles of Lasers Orazio Svelto - New York :. Springer, ©2010 - 620 pages
Introductory Concepts --
Interaction of Radiation with Atoms and Ions --
Energy Levels, Radiative and Nonradiative Transitions in Molecules and Semiconductors --
. Ray and Wave Propagation Through Optical Media --
Passive Optical Resonators --
Pumping Processes --
Continuous Wave Laser Behavior --
Transient Laser Behavior --
Solid-State, Dye, and Semiconductor Lasers --
Gas, Chemical, Free Electron, and X-Ray Lasers --
Properties of Laser Beams --
Laser Beam Transformation: Propagation, Amplification, Frequency Conversion, Pulse Compression and Pulse Expansion
This new Fifth Edition of Principles of Lasers incorporates corrections to the previous edition. The text's essential mission remains the same: to provide a wide-ranging yet unified description of laser behavior, physics, technology, and current applications. Dr. Svelto emphasizes the physical rather than the mathematical aspects of lasers, and presents the subject in the simplest terms compatible with a correct physical understanding. Praise for earlier editions: ""Professor Svelto is himself a longtime laser pioneer and his text shows the breadth of his broad acquaintance with all aspects
