Laser Physics

by Simon Hooker, Colin Webb
Laser Physics
Laser Physics

Clear bridge from theory to real lasers

If you want a serious but approachable dive into how lasers actually work, this is a strong pick. It does a great job connecting the physics of radiation and matter with the practical design of solid-state, semiconductor, gas, and newer fibre or femtosecond lasers. Readers who like learning visually will appreciate the many diagrams, and the problems make it feel like a book you can truly study from, not just skim.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Condition guide

Book Condition Guide

Books in Like New Condition

This book may contain very minor cosmetic defects, but it is in pristine condition. There should be no yellowing, no foxing, no water damage, and no annotations of any kind on the cover and the pages. For paperbacks, there should not be any crease marks on the spine. This book is good as new — lucky you!

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Very Good Condition

This book has been used, but it is still in a clean condition. There should be no foxing or annotations of any kind on the inner pages, but a sparse amount may be present on the cover, title pages, or outside edges of the book. There should be no water damage of any kind. For paperbacks, there may be light crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Good Condition

We do our best to ensure the quality of our books, but there is no escaping the wear and tear that comes with time. Slight foxing and some annotations may be present on the pages and the cover. There should be no water damage of any kind. For paperbacks, there may be several crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Well Read Condition

This is a well-read book, which means that the previous owner probably really enjoyed it! The cover and pages may include moderate foxing and annotations, but the text is not obscured and still readable. Moderate cosmetic defects and minor water damage may be present on the edges of the book. For paperbacks, there may be multiple crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Description

In Laser Physics, the interaction of radiation and matter and the principles of laser operation are described at a level suitable for upper undergraduate or introductory graduate courses in physics, chemistry, or engineering. The factors determining efficiency, wavelength coverage, output power, and beam quality of different classes of lasers are treated from both fundamental theory and practical construction perspectives. Details of established solid-state, semiconductor, and gas lasers are examined, together with techniques that enable their output to be converted across the spectrum. The latest advances in high-power fibre lasers, femtosecond lasers, and X-ray lasers are discussed. The text is illustrated with diagrams, and an extensive bibliography is provided, along with numerical problems in each chapter. Solutions are available via the web.
