Laser Fundamentals

by William T. Silfvast

"The clear explanations, worked examples, and many homework problems make this book eminently suitable for undergraduate and first-year graduate students in science and engineering who are taking courses on lasers. The summaries of key types of lasers, the use of many unique theoretical descriptions, and the chapter-by-chapter bibliography make this an invaluable reference work for researchers as well."--Jacket.
