The quantum theory of light
Loudon, Rodney
The quantum theory of light Rodney Loudon. - 3rd - Oxford ; New York : Oxford University Press, 2000. - ix, 438 pages
1. Planck's radiation law and the Einstein coefficients --
2. Quantum mechanics of the atom-radiation interaction --
3. Classical theory of optical fluctuations and coherence --
4. Quantization of the radiation field --
5. Single-mode quantum optics --
6. Multimode and continuous-mode quantum optics --
7. Optical generation, attenuation and amplification --
8. Resonance fluorescence and light scattering --
9. Nonlinear quantum optics.
The book is written as a textbook, with the treatment as a whole appropriate for graduate or postgraduate students, while earlier chapters are also suitable for final-year undergraduates. Over 100 problems help to reinforce the understanding of the material presented
