Synopsis:

This is a textbook and general reference book on lasers, with the emphasis on basic laser principles and laser theory rather than a handbook or catalogue of laser devices. It brings together into a unified and carefully laid out exposition all the fundamental and important physical principles and properties of laser devices, including both the atomic physics of laser materials and the optical physics and practical performance of laser devices. A unique feature of this book is that it gives a complete detailed and accurate treatment of laser physics in all its aspects, building only on classical models, without requiring a quantum mechanical background of the reader.

From the Author: Errata list, and future plans
A plain TeX source file which can be used to print an errata list for LASERS by Siegman is available on line at . Additional errata or comments may be sent to the author at siegman@ee.stanford.edu (but please check the existing errata list first). A revised version of this text, to include changes and advances since the original 1986 edition, is planned for publication in modular form (i.e., as individual modules of 300 to 400 pages each), but it will be several more years before the first of these will appear.
