Fundamentals of Laser Dynamics

Download or read book Fundamentals of Laser Dynamics written by I͡Akov Izrailevich Khanin and published by Cambridge Int Science Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book explores the current state of laser dynamics and provides reference data and basic experimental facts for old- and new-generation lasers. The most frequently used mathematical models are presented. The author discusses the reasons for the spontaneous occurrence of pulsation of the intensity of radiation of solid-state lasers and the influence of the non-stationary nature of laser elements on lasing characteristics. Special emphasis is placed on the problems of the low-frequency dynamics of multimode lasers. This book is aimed at experts in the fields of quantum electronics and laser physics.
