Although the basic principles of lasers have remained unchanged in the past 20 years, there has been a shift in the kinds of lasers generating interest. Providing a comprehensive introduction to the operating principles and applications of lasers, this second edition of the classic book on the subject reveals the latest developments and applications of lasers. Placing more emphasis on applications of lasers and on optical physics, the book's self-contained discussions will appeal to physicists, chemists, optical scientists, engineers, and advanced undergraduate students.

From the Back Cover:

A comprehensive introduction to the operating principles and application of lasers

Although the basic principles of lasers remain unchanged, the ever-increasing role of optical physics and engineering in basic science and in technology has caused a significant shift in the types of laser systems of greatest interest. Laser Physics--which is an updated, reconfigured, and expanded edition of the previously published Lasers--reflects the importance of lasers and their applications in a remarkably wide range of fields.

Discussions and features include:

Absorption, emission, and dispersion of light
Laser principles applied to specific lasers
Photon counting and optical coherence
Dispersion, chirping, and modes in optical fibers
Optical pumping, spin-polarized atoms, and atomic clocks
Fiber amplifiers and lasers
Laser cooling and trapping
Laser propagation in resonant media and in turbulent atmospheres
Elements of nonlinear optics
Generation of ultrashort pulses and frequency combs and applications
Lasers in lidar, adaptive optics, and medicine
Semiconductor lasers and optical communications

Complete with end-of-chapter problems for students, Laser Physics is an excellent textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in electrical engineering, physics, and optics. It also serves as a valuable reference for professionals working in industry and government laboratories.
