Lectures on quantum electronics

"Lectures on Quantum Electronics" presents a series of complete discussions covering the fundamentals of quantum electronics. Topics considered include physical principles of coherent amplification of light and laser oscillation; descriptions of well-known lasers such as helium-neon, colour-centre, dye and free-electron lasers; comparisons and contrasts of specific laser systems; and theory and practical realization of laser radiation tuning. Worked problems follow each lecture in the book.
