This graduatelevel text presents the fundamental physics of solidstate lasers, including the basis of laser action and the optical and electronic properties of laser materials. After an overview of the topic, the first part begins with a review of quantum mechanics and solidstate physics, spectroscopy, and crystal field theory; it then treats the quantum theory of radiation, the emission and absorption of radiation, and nonlinear optics; concluding with discussions of lattice vibrations and ionion interactions, and their effects on optical properties and laser action. The second part treats specific solidstate laser materials, the prototypical ruby and NdYAG systems being treated in greatest detail; and the book concludes with a discussion of novel and nonstandard materials. Some knowledge of quantum mechanics and solidstate physics is assumed, but the discussion is as selfcontained as possible, making this an excellent reference, as well as useful for independent study.
