Published Apr 1, 1979• 39 citations

Abstract

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.

Multiphoton lonization of Atoms

W R Newell

S L Chin and P Lambropoulos (eds) 1984 Orlando: Academic xii + 272 pp price £42 ISBN 0 12 172780 7 This multi-author book gives a good survey of current work and developments in what is an expanding research field. Although the content of each chapter reflects the personal bias of the author the literature is adequately surveyed, and a good balance is provided between theory and experiment.

Optical Resonance and Two Level Atoms

S. Zienau

L Allen and J H Eberly Chichester: J Wiley 1975 pp xiii + 233 price £10.80 ( cased ) Allen and Eberly, who have been most actively engaged in the expanding field of laser physics have written this introduction to optical resonance, pulse propagation and superradiance and allied phenomena relying mainly on quasiclassical methods. The mathematical apparatus and the actual, minimal, amount of quantum electrodynamics put to use, should make this text accessible to every graduate physicist.

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

Donald W. Goodwin

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.

Quantum Physics

G. Barton

Stephen Gasiorowicz Chichester: J Wiley 1974 pp xiii + 514 price £9 Though designed as an introductory book, and clearly and agreeably presented, the overall flavour is that of a more advancedtext. The reviewer, an admirer of the author's previous book on elementary particles, suspects that the mix here was most stimulating in the lecture course from which the book springs, but that it is less appropriate to a textbook.

Quantum Statistical Properties of Radiation

G. Barton

W H Louisell Chichester: Wiley 1973 pp xiv + 528 price £14 Many writers, on starting a text with appreciable mathematical content, will prepare for themselves an overfull sequence of formulae, derivations and proofs; then they use this as a secure home base for the further processes of selection, abbreviation, highlighting and verbal comment, which constitute the more creative parts of authorship, and whose success determines the reader's pleasure and profit from the final product. Apart from its general introductory parts, this book reads like an almost straight transcription of such an auxiliary framework.
