Book Description
Lasers is both a textbook and a general reference book with an emphasis on basic laser principles and theory. A unique feature is that it gives a complete, detailed, and accurate treatment of laser physics, building only on classical models, without requiring the reader to have a quantum mechanical background. It is for all scientists and engineers who work with lasers. |

THE BOOK 
This book explains complicated science in simple flowing english and I would definitely recommmend this to anyone who needs to know the basics and the not so basics of laser systems.

A wonderful introduction 
This remarkable text is a wonderful introduction to the world of lasers, especially good for undergraduate courses, particularly for engineers.
The basic principles and practice are explained with extraordinary clarity, and without any significant mention of quantum mechanics. The main weakness of the book is the lack of information on semiconductor laser diodes - so central these days to many branches of laser engineering.
For those wanting a more advanced undergraduate - or physics-based text - an excellent complementary text to Siegman's is Orazio Svelto's 'Principles of Lasers'.
Siegman's book is an excellent engineering text - a terrific introduction for anybody who is new to lasers.

Excellent
Clear, insightful, and fun to read. If you want to understand lasers, this is your best bet. Siegman also reviews his references, which is great. I actually bought a couple of books as a result of his suggestions. He is an outstanding professor from Stanford. Do I need to say anything else?

Lasers
Although now dated this text still is an excellent reference book for laser scientists and optics graduate students. An updated version covering recent advances is needed.

The Best Lasers Book
This is universally regarded as the ultimate reference for lasers. After discovering it in grad school, I understand why! Siegman's explanations are truly phenomenal and "Lasers" treats virtually every topic on lasers. Plus, he has comprehensive errata on his website!
