From the reviews:
"The aim of the present work is the description of the main aspects of laser-matter interaction . . In the book many considerations are added which are not covered in former textbooks or monographies. . The book is intended for students of graduate courses, but it may be also useful for scientists as a reference book." (Claudia-Veronika Meister, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1221, 2011)More details

Persons
Peter Mulser, born in Völs-Fiè, (Bolzano), Italy, studied physics at the University of Pisa, at Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, and at the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich, where he gained his diploma. He received his PhD in physics from the Technical University of Munich. In 1981, following research fellowships at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Garching and at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics in Garching, he became a full Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Technical University of Darmstadt.
