Description
Intended for use on introductory courses in laser electronics and quantum electronics, this text offers a practical approach to introductory laser electronics. It emphasizes real-world applications and problem-solving skills over theory, providing a clear understanding of both optical and microwave frequencies. Features of the text include: a description of wave resonance and an intuitive approach to wave propagation by using rays; semiclassical quantum theory of the laser; new chapter coverage of guided optical waves, hetero-structures, fibres, fibre dispersion and solitons; new coverage of the pumping requirements for a laser and the dynamical behaviour of lasers and amplifiers; revised coverage of erbium doped filter amplifiers, Ti:sapphire and alexandrite lasers; and a revised section on free electron lasers.
