This book is motivated by the very favorable reception given to the
previous editions as well as by the considerable range of new
developments in the laser ?eld since the publication of the third
edition in 1989. These new developmentsinclude, among others,
Quantum-Well and Multiple-Quantum Well lasers,
diode-pumpedsolid-state lasers, new concepts for both stable and
unstable resonators, femtosecond lasers, ultra-high-brightness
lasers etc. The basic aim of the book has remained the same, namely
to providea broad and uni?ed description of laser behavior at the
simplest level which is compatible with a correct physical
understanding. The book is thereforeintendedas a text-bookfor a
senior-levelor ?rst-year graduatecourse and/or as a reference book.
This edition corrects several errors introduced in the previous
edition. The most relevant additions or changes to since the third
edition can be summarized as follows: 1. A much-more detailed
description of Ampli?ed Spontaneous Emission has been given [Chapt.
2] and a novel simpli?ed treatment of this phenomenon both for
homogeneousor inhomogeneouslines has been introduced [Appendix C].
2. A major fraction of a chapter [Chapt. 3] is dedicated to the
interaction of radiation with semiconductor media, either in a bulk
form or in a quantum-con?ned structure (quantum-well, quantum-wire
and quantum dot). 3. A moderntheory of stable and unstable
resonatorsis introduced,where a more ext- sive use is made of the
ABCD matrix formalism and where the most recent topics of
dynamically stable resonators as well as unstable resonators, with
mirrors having Gaussian or super-Gaussian transverse re?ectivity
pro?les, are considered [Chapt. 5].
