This book treats the interaction of radiation with matter,
particular attention being paid to the laser. Knowledge is assumed
of the usual half-year introduction of quantum mechanics found in
undergraduate physics curricula. The material can be covered in two
semesters, or, alternatively, the first part (Chaps 1-13) can be
used as a one-semester course in which quantum mechanical aspects
of the electromagnetic field are ignored. Each chapter is
accompanied by problems that illustrate the text and give useful
(occasionally new) results. Existing laser media are intrinsically
quantum mechanical and are most easily studied with the quantum
theory. Understanding the laser along these lines enlivens one's
understanding of quantum mechanics itself. In fact, the material
constitutes a viable, applied alternative for the usual second and
third semesters of quantum mechanics.
