Description:
This textbook provides an accessible introduction to laser physics by addressing three key questions: What is special about laser light? What is the physics underlying its generation? And how can laser light be manipulated and used? The material is presented in a way that helps readers develop an understanding of the underlying physical principles and processes without becoming bogged down in mathematical detail, while still providing enough mathematics for that understanding to be quantitative. The book begins by describing the special properties of laser light and then focuses on the physics of light-matter interaction to explain how these properties arise. It builds on Maxwell's equations for light and the classical electron oscillator model for atoms, augmented by a quantum-mechanical picture of atomic energy levels, to provide an accurate physical understanding of light-matter interaction. This approach avoids the need for a prior course in quantum theory. Derivations of key equations are included not only to help readers follow the development of the subject, but also to illustrate that approximation, simplification, and the search for analytic results are integral to understanding complex physical phenomena. Topics such as nonlinear pulse propagation and nonlinear optics are discussed, but only at a level intended to help readers get started in these fields. The choice of topics is limited to atomic and molecular lasers so that the material can be covered in a one-semester course. Problems, references, and illustrations are included throughout the book, making it suitable as a textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in physics and engineering. Readers do not require prior knowledge of physics much beyond an undergraduate introduction to electromagnetic theory, including Maxwell's equations, polarization in atomic media, and electromagnetic-wave propagation. Key features: Provides a qualitative and quantitative understanding of, and appreciation for, the special properties of laser light Explores the quantum statistics of laser light Presents an analytical approach to pulse formation
