Bøger af F.J. (Interferometric Optics Duarte

This book is a concise and comprehensive presentation of numerous fundamental concepts related to the light nature and its interaction with matter. The Dirac approach is used in the description of optics, population inversion, laser gain, and polarization. The book provides insight into practical laser and quantum mechanics. It also explains the use of quantum mathematics which is required to understand the photon as it is used in real systems. Practical, real-world, worked-out examples are used throughout as well as interferometric calculations using MATLAB®.

This book offers a transparent and comprehensive treatment of the physics of tunable laser optics based on a detailed description of first principles. It covers the optics and optical principles needed to build lasers, the optics instrumentation necessary to characterize laser emission, and laser-based optical instrumentation. Containing new and additional material on tunable lasers and quantum optics, this revised, expanded, and improved Second Edition provides valuable insight into the optics and the trade-offs involved in the design and construction of tunable lasers and optical devices.
