Product Description

Review

"This is a well-written and readable introduction to quantum electronics which treats topics not usually found in traditional texts. Nagourney has put together what could become a standard book in the field." --Ifan Hughes, Durham University

Book Description

Quantum Electronics for Atomic Physics provides a course in quantum electronics for researchers in atomic physics. The book covers the usual topics, such as Gaussian beams, cavities, lasers, nonlinear optics and modulation techniques, but also includes a number of areas not usually found in a textbook on quantum electronics. It includes such practical matters as the enhancement of nonlinear processes in a build-up cavity, impedance matching into a cavity, laser frequency stabilization (including servomechanism theory), astigmatism in ring cavities, and atomic/molecular spectroscopic techniques for the generation of a discriminant for laser frequency locking. A number of very recent developments are discussed, such as fiber lasers and frequency metrology using femtosecond lasers. Problem sets are included at the end of each chapter.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Useful Book, Dec 4 2010

By tka3 - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Quantum Electronics for Atomic Physics (Hardcover)

I am a physicist with a background in ultrafast optics and femtosecond lasers. I now find myself working in the frequency domain, and have found this book extremely helpful in making the transition. The book has been most useful in orienting myself with laboratory tools use to construct and manipulate narrow linewidth light sources.
