Publisher's Note This is the thoroughly updated and expanded new edition of the "self-contained introduction to the physics and technology of lasers" which was "strongly recommended" by "Physics Bulletin". The text includes many examples, new tables, end-of-chapter problems with solutions provided, and 250 illustrations. "Principles of Lasers" is suitable for advanced level courses.
Industry Reviews The second edition (1982) of the translation from Italian is listed in BCL3 . Svelto (physics, Polytechnic Institute of Milan) has here taken account of such developments as eximer, free-electron, and X-ray lasers. He emphasizes the physics of lasers over the mathematical. A fine textbook for junior/senior or graduate courses. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or. SciTech Book News
