Laser Resonators and Beam Propagation: Fundamentals, Advanced Concepts, Applications

by Horst Weber and Norman Hodgson

Book Overview

This book delivers a uniquely comprehensive and detailed discussion of the properties of optical resonators and the propagation of laser beams, covering basic theory and practical implementations including recent research. It presents the fundamental theories of resonators, such as geometrical optics, diffraction, and polarization, as well as the characteristics of important resonator schemes and their modelling. The book uses classical optics as...
