2.0 out of 5 stars Definately not an introductory laser book., October 18, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Laser Electronics (3rd Edition) (Paperback)
This book uses math extensively to describe lasers ( granted math IS necessary). The book assumes you have a very good background in the subject material already. Still, not a bad book to have on the shelf to look in if you have some need for a deeper look at lasers. This is a book for people already advanced in the their understanding of lasers who seek further advancement. This is not an introductory book.

3.0 out of 5 stars laser electronics, February 6, 2009
By 
nishant patel (Albuquerque, NM) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Laser Electronics (3rd Edition) (Paperback)
The book will work for the student who is sufficiently prepared in quantum mechanics and electromagnetism. If one were to learn laser physics without the background of these classes, then they would be doing themselves a great disservice.

The book covers lots of the "bare-bones" topics essential to understanding lasers. However, the book comes to a screeching halt when advanced derivations need to be completed, leaving it up to the reader to figure it out. The book does have extensive reference lists at the end of each chapter to supplement those deficiencies.

Unfortunately there will not be a future edition to this book. This book is probably the best fit for a senior undergraduate course and not a graduate course (Yariv is probably a better fit at this conjuncture). The senior undergraduate will have to work hard in order to get the most out of this book!
