Synopsis

Presents the theoretical foundations of steady state laser spectroscopy at an elementary level. General foundations and specific features of nonlinear effects are summarized, laser operation and laser spectroscopy are presented, and laser field fluctuations and the effects of field quantization are dealt with. It gives detailed derivations so the reader can work out all results. References are collected in separate sections and form a short description of the history and basic developments in the field.
