This graduate-level text presents the fundamental physics of
solid-state lasers, including the basis of laser action and the
optical and electronic properties of laser materials. After an
overview of the topic, the first part begins with a review of
quantum mechanics and solid-state physics, spectroscopy, and
crystal field theory; it then treats the quantum theory of
radiation, the emission and absorption of radiation, and nonlinear
optics; concluding with discussions of lattice vibrations and
ion-ion interactions, and their effects on optical properties and
laser action. The second part treats specific solid-state laser
materials, the prototypical ruby and Nd-YAG systems being treated
in greatest detail; and the book concludes with a discussion of
novel and non-standard materials. Some knowledge of quantum
mechanics and solid-state physics is assumed, but the discussion is
as self-contained as possible, making this an excellent reference,
as well as useful for independent study.
