Description
An introductory monograph exploring the dynamic properties of lasers. Analogies of laser dynamics with dynamic, chaotic and turbulent processes in nature are made evident. Subjects covered range from the history of laser dynamics to the basic theoretical models of nonlinear dynamics, to the several types of lasers used in practice. Technical questions of nonlinear laser phenomena are discussed in detail and the book is aimed at scientists and engineers in universities, research institutes, and those working in industry in the fields of laser physics and technology, optics, and nonlinear dynamics.
