Laser Physics: Proceedings of the 2nd New Zealand Summer School

Donald W. Goodwin

Published Apr 1, 1982• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

D F Walls and J D Harvey (eds) 1980 London: Academic xi + 287 pp price £16.90 This volume comprises 11 excellent chapters based on a summer school which must have succeeded in a thorough updating in laser physics. The aspects selected contain reviews of well established topics in laser physics, such as the statistical properties of light and light beating spectroscopy, as well as very topical subjects such as new excimer and free electron lasers, multiphoton excitation and optical bistability.

Lasers in Applied and Fundamental Research

Frank H. Read

S Stenholm 1985 Bristol: Adam Hilger xiv + 273 pp price £9.95 (IOP members' price £7.95) ISBN 0 85274 808 6 This book contains four contributions that were first published as review articles in Reports on Progress in Physics , together with an introduction setting the scene for each paper and describing developments which have occurred since the articles were first written. The four topics are the interaction of laser radiation with free atoms (S Feneuille), optical bistability (E Abraham and S D Smith), nonclassical effects in the statistical properties of light (R Loudon) and Bell's theorem (J F Clauser and A Shimony).

Colyn Grey Morgan

J H Eberly and P Lambropoulos (eds) 1978 Chichester: John Wiley xx + 418 pp price £17.60 The 29 invited papers presented at the 1977 international conference on multiphoton processes are collected together to form this book. They are a comprehensive set of authoritative reviews by acknowledged experts on many aspects of one of the most exciting and active areas of physics – the interaction of radiation with matter.

N Bloembergen (ed) Amsterdam: North Holland 1977 pp xii + 455 price $61.25 This course on nonlinear spectroscopy is a worthy successor to other laser and maser courses, dating back to course XVII, ‘Topics in radiofrequency spectroscopy’. As with the other courses, these proceedings have been carefully edited and assembled into a coherent volume.

Quantum dynamics of simple systems

Davıd L. Andrews

This latest volume of proceedings from a Scottish Universities Summer School covers a wide range of topics, many at the forefront of current research in Physics, which the editors enthusiastically refer to as Quantum Toys . Certainly there is a sense of playfulness and relative simplicity in the way many topics are addressed by the distinguished authors of the eleven main chapters. The result is a book covering what is at times fairly advanced material, at a level and with a lucidity that will be particularly attractive to newcomers in the field. Amongst those topics are to be found cavity QED, quantum wells, squeezed light, Bell's theorem and Bose - Einstein condensation. It is good to see more molecular material being reflected in the contents - discovering the relationship between squeezing and Franck - Condon factors was for me a pleasant surprise, surpassed only by the first autostereogram I have ever been able to decode. Personally I do not find the eighteen pages devoted to poster abstracts and participant addresses at all useful - most purchasers would rather have £ 5 off!

Introduction to Quantum Electronics

Rodney C. Greenhow

P A Lindsay London: Pitman 1975 pp xi + 202 price £6 In this book the author surveys a wide range of interactions between radiation and matter. The first four chapters cover such standard undergraduate topics as electromagnetic radiation and its sources, line broadening, black body radiation, Einstein coefficients, polarization of gases and solids, atomic structure and spectroscopy.
