Covers phase-conjugate optics and its myriad applications, the long wavelength quaternary semiconductor laser, and our deepened understanding of the physics of semiconductor lasers--especially that applying to their current modulations and limiting bandwidth, laser arrays and the related concept of supermodes, quantum well semiconductor lasers, the role of phase amplitude coupling in laser noise, and free-electron lasers. In addition, the chapters on laser noise and third-order nonlinear effects have been extensively revised.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBasic Theorems and Postulates of Quantum Mechanics.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Some Solutions of the Time-Independent Schrödinger Equation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Matrix Formulation of Quantum Mechanics.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Lattice Vibrations and Their Quantization.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Electromagnetic Fields and Their Quantization.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Propagation of Optical Beams in Homogeneous and Lenslike Media.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Optical Resonators.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Interaction of Radiation and Atomic Systems.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Laser Oscillation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Some Specific Laser Systems.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Semiconductor Diode Lasers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Quantum Well Lasers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Free-Electron Laser.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Modulation of Optical Radiation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Coherent Interactions of a Radiation Field and an Atomic System.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Introduction to Nonlinear Optics--Second-Harmonic Generation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Parametric Amplification, Oscillation, and Fluorescence.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Third-Order Optical Nonlinearities--Stimulated Raman and Brillouin Scattering.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Phase-Conjugate-Optics and Photorefractive Beam Coupling.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Q-Switching and Mode Locking of Lasers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Noise and Spectra of Laser Amplifiers and Oscillators.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Guided Wave Optics--Propagation in Optical Fibers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Appendices.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49402643939671,"sku":"9780471609971","price":232.16,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780471609971.jpg?v=1730481088","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/quantum-electronics-9780471609971","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
