Laser Physics 1st Edition by Peter W. Milonni (PDF)

Description

Although the basic principles of lasers have remained unchanged in the past 20 years, there has been a shift in the kinds of lasers generating interest. Providing a comprehensive introduction to the operating principles and applications of lasers, this second edition of the classic book on the subject reveals the latest developments and applications of lasers. Placing more emphasis on applications of lasers and on optical physics, the book’s self-contained discussions will appeal to physicists, chemists, optical scientists, engineers, and advanced undergraduate students.

⭐very good!!!

⭐Very readable, good companion to Quantum Optics by Rodney Loudon.

⭐Peter Milonni and Joe Eberly are among the best if not the best professional physics writers in contemporary English; for the former it slightly redeems comparative lack of originality of his own research. Their “Laser Physics” is the only book one needs to get complete understanding of the field.When I was preparing (without attentive cliff-noting) for my subject exams in 1979, only incomprehensible Maitland and Dunn’s Laser Physics was available for my study. (I do not want to blacken the image of M&D but their 1969 book was written too early in process—lasers were invented in 1960—to accurately summarize the field). My professor, untimely deceased V. S. Letokhov (1939-2009), gave me a good grade probably being amused by the nonsense I told him in my examination answers.Milonni and Eberly’s masterpiece appeared a decade after my atrocious examinations, too late for its beautiful clarity to be used for anything except my self-education. I have only two minor criticisms: coverage of the field of diode (and quantum-well) lasers is too sparse, while these are the mainstay of all modern applications and experimental techniques, but the book is already 800+ pages, and that the Chapter 16 is redundant in the second edition. In 2010, Fortran is a dead language. I give this book four stars—as I already said in other reviews—only because if I give it five, where should we place La Divina Comedia and Hamlet?

⭐I first wrote the one and only review for this book a decade ago and a decade after the book’s publication. Well the authors have FINALLY updated the book: Laser Physics.Apparently M & E were content to reside in the “J.D. Jackson” school of textbook writing.I haven’t looked into the new edition, but my gut says it’s WAY too late and probably just another face now in a very crowded CROWD. At least they hit a home run the first time out.

⭐Gute Zusammenfassung von Grundlagen zu Laserphysik. Sowohl die Beschreibung von Laser-Gain als auch von Resonatoren werden ausführlich behandelt.Wie ich finde angenehm zu lesen. Alternativ gibts eigentlich nur noch DAS Standart-Werk von Siegmann. Welches nun wirklich besser ist kann ich nicht beurteilen. Beide haben ihre Stärken und Schwächen, die wichtigen Grundlagen behandeln sie beide.

⭐Not found.

⭐Uitleg vaak erg duidelijk, veel concepten werden duidelijk gemaakt met het boek. Maar de volgorde waarin dit gedaan werd sprak niet altijd voor zich.

⭐Not found.

⭐It’s a very good book. I love it.

⭐Needed this book for a course, it is nice enough.

⭐Good book, fam!
