Electromagnetic Waves and Lasers reviews electromagnetic wave theory with a special emphasis on lasers and how to use them in optical systems. As a short treatise on this subject matter, this book aims to offer a quick overview that will allow the reader to gain a competent general understanding of electromagnetic waves and lasers, and how to use lasers in optical systems. Beginning with an introduction on electromagnetic waves, the book progresses to examine the application of electromagnetic wave theory, and the different aspects of working with lasers and their associated components. This second edition includes detailed information and procedures for setting up a laser optical system making it an excellent guide for those involved with using lasers.
Key Features
The author, who is the president of an optical company, has succeeded in explaining the subject in a plain, very understandable way without making recourse to very complex mathematics. Of course, the reverse of this is that the reader gains only generic information. It is however what can be needed for many people working with lasers who do not need to have a deep knowledge of how they work or on the detailed behaviour of electromagnetic waves. Many people wishing to approach the subject without being involved in long mathematical explanations will find the book very useful.
The impression is good. I believe the author has reached his purpose and the reader should be satisfied. The typographical presentation is excellent, what more to ask from such a short presentation?
