Lasers and non-linear optics / B.B. Laud.

By: Publication details: New Delhi : New Age International Publishers, 2013.Edition: 3rd edDescription: xiii, 289 p. ; illustrationsISBN:
  • 9788122430561
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 621.366 23 L367
Contents:
1. Introduction -- 2. Einstein's quantum theory of radiation -- 3. Interaction of radiation with matter -- 4. Masers -- 5. Theory of some simple optical processes -- 6. Basic principles of lasers -- 7. Solid state lasers -- 8. Gas lasers -- 9. Semiconductor lasers -- 10. Liquid-, dey- and chemical leasers -- 11. Dynamics of the laser processes and advances in laser physics -- 12. Holography -- 13. Non-linear optics -- 14. Multiphoton processes -- 15. Laser spectroscopy -- 16. Some laser induced phenomena -- 17. Applications of lasers -- Appendices.
Summary: The book is addressed to the advanced undergraduate and graduate students interested in lasers. It encompasses the wide area joining laser physics and non-linear optics. The earlier chapters give a concise account of basic physics on which the operation of lasers depends. Quantum mechanical treatment of the interaction of radiation with an atom and of some important optical processes is presented. This prepares the way, by easy stages, for the formal development lasers.
