PRINCIPLES OF LASERS AND OPTICS (2005) WILLIAM S. C. CHANG

Description

This text describes the fundamental principles of lasers and the propagation and application of laser radiation in bulk and guided wave components. It uniformly analyzes solid state, gas, and semiconductor lasers as macroscopic devices, developing an overall understanding of the coherent nature of laser radiation. The book is suitable for first-year graduates in electrical engineering and physics and serves as a reference on mathematical and analytical techniques used in opto-electronic applications.
