Description

This new Fourth Edition of Principles of Lasers is so thoroughly updated and expanded that it is virtually a whole new book. But the text's essential mission remains the same: to provide a wide-ranging yet unified description of laser behavior, physics, technology, and current applications. Dr. Svelto emphasizes the physical rather than the mathematical aspects of lasers, and presents the subject in the simplest terms compatible with a correct physical understanding.

First Sentence

To describe the phenomenon of spontaneous emission (Fig. 1.1a), let us consider two energy levels, 1 and 2, of some atom or molecule of a given material with energies E1 and E2 (E1 < E2), respectively.
