Product 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. |

Great Book! by E. Peralta (Stanford, CA)  5 Stars
October 21, 2009
Perhaps the most complete and in-depth book on lasers out there with great narrative and not just a bunch of equations thrown at you.

Great book for the laser physics and engineering! by Nishant Bhatambrekar  4 Stars
August 16, 2009
This book provides the very good and thorough overview of the modern as well as classical laser physics. I recommend this book for a serious laser scientist and engineer. Starting from the black-body radiation to the quantum-well semiconductor lasers, it touches upon various aspects, including mathematical models, governing equations.

THE BOOK by DaG (USA) 5 Stars
February 22, 2008
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 by R. G. W. Brown (Tustin, CA, USA) 4 Stars
August 07, 2007
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 by T. S. Jota 5 Stars
August 09, 2006
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?
