These new developments include, among others, quantum-well and muitiple-quantum-welliasers, diode-pumped solid-state lasers, new concepts for both stable and unstable resonators, femtosecond lasers, ultra-high-brightness lasers, etc. This edition thus represents a radically revised version of the preceding edition, amounting essentially to a new book in its own right. However, the basic aim has remained the same, namely to provide a broad and unified description of laser behavior at the simplest level which is compatible with a correct physical understanding. The book is therefore intended as a textbook for a senior-level or first-year graduate course and/or as a reference book. The most relevant additions or changes to this edition can be summarized as follows: 1. A much-more detailed description of Amplified Spontaneous Emission has been given (Chapter 2) and a novel simplified treatment of this phenomenon, both for homogeneous and inhomogeneous lines, has been introduced (Appendix C). 2. A major fraction of a new chapter (Chapter 3) is dedicated to the interaction of radiation with semiconductor media, either in a bulk form or in a quantum-confined structure (quantum-well, quantum-wire and quantum dot). 3. 606 $aLasers 606 $aPhotonics 606 $aQuantum optics 606 $aMicrowaves 606 $aOptical engineering 606 $aOptics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31030 606 $aQuantum Optics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24050 606 $aMicrowaves, RF and Optical Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T24019 615 0$aLasers. 615 0$aPhotonics. 615 0$aQuantum optics. 615 0$aMicrowaves. 615 0$aOptical engineering. 615 14$aOptics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices. 615 24$aQuantum Optics. 615 24$aMicrowaves, RF and Optical Engineering. 676 $a621.36 700 $aSvelto$b Orazio$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01967 701 $aHanna$b D.
