By: Material type: TextTextEdition: Second editionDescription: xiv, 380 pages : illustrations ; 25 cmISBN:
  • 9780198835905
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 535.2  23 R187
Contents:
1. Basic classical concepts -- 2. Basic quantum mechanics -- 3. Atom-field interactions -- 4. Transient optical response -- 5. Coherent interactions of fields with atoms -- 6. Quantized fields and coherent states -- 7. Selected topics and applications.
Summary: This book bridges a gap between introductory optics texts and the vanguard of optical science, where light is used as a tool to probe the properties of new materials. A single mathematical tool is introduced that enables readers to understand laser tweezers, laser cooling, optical magnetism, squeezed light, and many other advanced topics.
