This textbook originates from a lecture course in laser physics
at the Karlsruhe School of Optics and Photonics at the Karlsruhe
Institute of Technology (KIT). A main goal in the conception of
this textbook was to describe the fundamentals of lasers in a
uniform and especially lab-oriented notation and formulation as
well as many currently well-known laser types, becoming more and
more important in the future. It closes a gap between the
measureable spectroscopic quantities and the whole theoretical
description and modeling. This textbook contains not only the
fundamentals and the context of laser physics in a mathematical and
methodical approach important for university-level studies. It
allows simultaneously, owing to its conception and its modern
notation, to directly implement and use the learned matter in the
practical lab work. It is presented in a format suitable for
everybody who wants not only to understand the fundamentals of
lasers but also use modern lasers or even develop and make laser
setups. This book tries to limit prerequisite knowledge and
fundamental understanding to a minimum and is intended for students
in physics, chemistry and mathematics after a bachelor degree, with
the intention to create as much joy and interest as seen among the
participants of the corresponding lectures.
This university textbook describes in its first three chapters
the fundamentals of lasers: light-matter interaction, the
amplifying laser medium and the laser resonator. In the fourth
chapter, pulse generation and related techniques are presented. The
fifth chapter gives a closing overview on different laser types
gaining importance currently and in the future. It also contains a
set of examples on which the theory learned in the first four
chapters is applied and extended.
