Andre Ducasse | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

A comprehensive reference that treats both laser physics and molecular nonlinear optics in a single volume. Part I offers a review of the fundamental quantum mechanics, tensor analysis and statistical physics necessary for an understanding of optical properties of matter. Part II examines optical sources, describing the laser, its operation and the properties of its waves. Part III presents an in-depth examination of laser-molecule interaction. Includes 35 original problems and solutions that reinforce learning.
