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.

Most undergraduate and graduate classes use this book and it is an absolutely amazingly well-written book. I remember as an undergrad. this book was a little confusing but now with more experience in the field of laser and optics I see why this book is so highly regarded. The book hasn't been updated so its missing some more recent topics in lasers but it is still an amazing book. Check out Silfvast and Demtroder for other books that are also well written and offer some expounding on some topics that this book is weak on.

This book contains all the information a student would need to learn about lasers from a classical stand point of view. Unlike most other books fail to explain many aspects of lasers, this book does the job just right.

This isn't a coffee table book. This is a coffee table. Seriously, this book is humongous. But, if you want to know anything about light, lasers or the meaning of life (for a physicist), then this is the book for you. Also, the writing style is refreshingly human for a physics text, along the lines of Griffiths or Hecht.
Reviews
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.
Reviews
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.
