โฆ Synopsis
From the concepts of classical optics, the author summaries the properties of modern laser sources in detail. Several examples from the scope of current research are provided to emphazise the relevance of optics in current developments within science and technology. The text has been written for newcomers to the topic and benefits from the author's ability to explain difficult sequences and effects in a straightforward and readily comprehensible way.
