It is well written and well illustrated … and the overall layout and typography is very clear, for which the publishers are to be commended. … a real strength of the book is the detailed consideration given not only to the theory of lasers, resonators and modes but the fairly wide-ranging discussion of a number of important laser systems including dye, chemical and free-electron. … a valuable textbook which I will certainly be recommending to my final year undergraduate and taught masters students.'

This new edition has been re-organized, and now covers many new topics such as the optics of stratified media, quantum well lasers and modulators, free electron lasers, diode-pumped solid state and gas lasers, imaging and non-imaging optical systems, squeezed light, periodic poling in nonlinear media, very short pulse lasers and new applications of lasers. The textbook gives a detailed introduction to the basic physics and engineering of lasers, as well as covering the design and operational principles of a wide range of optical systems and electro-optic devices. It features full details of important derivations and results, and provides many practical examples of the design, construction and performance characteristics of different types of lasers and electro-optic devices.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e1.
