Explores the principles of cavities and lasers, including Fabry-Perot resonators, Gaussian beams, cavity configurations, and absorption-emission-stimulated emission processes.
Explores laser cavities, optical gain, resonators, and diffraction phenomena in laser systems, emphasizing the design and operation of laser oscillators.
Covers the basics of laser operation, including light-atom interaction and resonator design, discussing the quantum vs classical view of the atom and stimulated emission.
