A beginner's guide to lasers and their applications.Part 1,Insights into laser science[electronic resource] /Insights into laser scienceby Dhruba J. Biswas. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2023. - 1 online resource (xvi, 321 p.) :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Undergraduate lecture notes in physics,2192-4805. - Undergraduate lecture notes in physics..

Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Behavior of light -- Chapter 3: Quantization of Energy -- Chapter 4: Lasers - At a Glance -- Chapter 5: Population Inversion and Consideration of Energy Levels of a lasing medium -- Chapter 6: Cavity and its Bearing on the Operation of Lasers -- Chapter 7: Continuous and Pulsed Lasers -- Chapter 8: Broadening of Gain and its Bearing on the Laser Subtleties -- Chapter 9: Boosting the Performance of a Pulsed Laser -- Chapter 10: Different Types of Lasers -- Chapter 11: Molecular gas lasers -- Chapter 12: Semiconductor lasers.

This two-volume book provides an enriching insight into the laser, covering different types of lasers, the basic science behind the technology, their role at the cutting-edge of current scientific research, and their wide-ranging applications. With just high school physics as a prerequisite and favoring qualitative yet scientifically sound explanations over high-level mathematics, this book is aimed at a broad spectrum of readers in physics, chemistry, engineering, medicine, and biology. Its engaging and lucid presentation is enhanced with plenty of illustrations, making the world of the laser accessible to undergraduate students in the sciences and any other inquisitive readers with high school physics under their belts. Furthermore, the text is often laced with anecdotes, picked from history, that are bound to pique the minds of the readers. It is ideal for self-study or as a complement to courses on optics and optoelectronics. This volume, Part 1 of 2, explains the fundamentals of optics, what a laser is, how it works, and what is unique about the light it emits, from fundamental quantum theory through population inversion and cavity to common laser types. It is followed by Part 2 which depicts the many advances in science enabled by the laser, including spectroscopy, nonlinear optics, optical cooling and trapping, and optical tweezers, among many others, and provides a glimpse into the ways that the laser affects our lives via its uses in medicine, manufacturing, the nuclear industry, energy, defence, communication, ranging, pollution monitoring, art conservation, fashion, beauty, and entertainment.
