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.
Covers the basic principles of laser operation, types of laser systems, noise characteristics, optical fibers, ultrafast lasers, and modern applications.
Explores the principles of cavities and lasers, including Fabry-Perot resonators, Gaussian beams, cavity configurations, and absorption-emission-stimulated emission processes.
