This textbook is based on a course given by the first-named author
to third and fourth year undergraduate students from physics,
engineering physics and electrical engineering. The purpose is to
introduce and explain some of the fundamental principles underlying
laser beam control in optoelectronics, especially those in relation
to optical anisotropy which is at the heart of many optical
devices. The book attempts to give the reader the background
knowledge needed to work in a laser, optoelectronic or photonic
environment, and to manage and handle laser beam equipment with
ease.In this edition, recent research results on modern
technologies and instruments relevant to laser optoelectronics have
been added to each chapter. New material include: chirped pulse
amplification for petawatt lasers; optical anisotropy; physical
explanations for group velocity dispersion, group delay dispersion,
and third order dispersion; an introduction of different types of
laser systems; and both optical isotropy and anisotropy in
different types of harmonic generation.Theories based upon
mode-locking and chirped pulse amplifications have become
increasingly more important. It is thus necessary that students
learn all these in a course devoted to laser optoelectronics. As
such, Chapter 12 is now devoted to mode-locking and
carrier-envelope phase locking. A new chapter, Chapter 13, which
focuses on chirped pulse amplification has also been added.
