Description
This book examines the nature of the coherent excitation produced in atoms by lasers. It examines the detailed transient variation of excited-state populations with time and with controllable parameters such as laser frequency and intensity. The discussion assumes modest prior knowledge of elementary quantum mechanics and, in some sections, nodding acquaintance with Maxwell's equations of electrodynamics. The volume is intended for physicists, opticists, spectroscopists and physical chemists.
