Lasers and Non-Linear Optics [3 ed.] 9788122434880 - EBIN.PUB
"We must ascend!" Lux cried. "We need a Four-Level Sanctuary!"
Master the content of this book, and you will master the twin pillars of modern photonics: the coherent light source (laser) and its manipulation into new frequencies (nonlinear optics). That is the ultimate "top" result.
The book is from the 1990s (and earlier editions from the 70s), so it lacks modern topics like ultrashort pulses, photonic crystals, or metamaterials. Also, diagrams are basic — no color, no fancy simulations.
This story personifies the physics, turning the chapters of the book into an adventure of light.
