What is Laser Fundamentals, Second Edition about?

Laser Fundamentals provides a clear and comprehensive introduction to the physical and engineering principles of laser operation and design. Simple explanations, based throughout on key underlying concepts, lead the reader logically from the basics of laser action to advanced topics in laser physics and engineering. In addition to many improvements to the text and figures of the first edition, much new material has been added to this second edition -- especially in the areas of solid-state lasers, semiconductor lasers, and laser cavities. This edition contains a new chapter on laser operation above threshold, including extensive discussion of laser amplifiers. It also provides details on new types of lasers (e.g., Nd:YLF, Nd:YVO[subscript 4], and Yb:YAG) plus a new section on diode pumping of solid-state lasers. The coverage extends to the four basic categories (GaAs, InP, ZnSe, and GaN) of semiconductor lasers. The analysis is applied to electron and hole concentrations for both heterojunction semiconductor lasers and quantum-well lasers, and a thorough discussion of laser cavities features ABCD matrix analysis of two-, three-, and four-mirror cavities.The book first develops the
