In this book emphasis is laid on laser including its operation, different types, properties like coherence and monochromaticity, beam propagation, theoretical treatment of atom‐field interaction, semi‐classical laser theory, non‐linear effects, quantum properties, photon concept and coherent states etc.

Reviews for Laser Physics and Spectroscopy
"""The first chapter, the longest, very nicely summarizes the physics of lasers. The remaining nine individually discuss important topics relevant to lasers. There are many helpful diagrams and chapter-end problem sets."" ~Albert Claus, Professor Emeritus of Physics, Loyola University Chicago"
