Books on quantum electronics and laser technology contain usually information only on ideal empty resonators. At the same time, this information is only a starting point in an analysis of the non-linear interaction of the resonator modes, evolution of these modes and so on, processes which are intimately connected with the active medium and affect in a decisive way the characteristics of the laser radiation. The principal purpose of the present book is filling this gap, primarily in what concerns the problems related with the spatial characteristics of laser radiation. It contains not only material bearing on the specific features in the behaviour of resonators filled with a gain medium, the main principles to be followed in selecting the types and parameters of resonators based on the given properties of a medium, but all the relevant information on the laws governing the propagation of coherent light beams and on empty ideal resonators. This book sums up the research conducted by the author for many years which was directed to a large extent toward systematization of theoretical and experimental data scattered through the literature, development of convenient terminology, a system of representation and unique methods to analyze resonators of different types.

Industry Reviews

"Experienced professionals working in the field may find this book a useful reference work to have in their personal library.... an excellent bibliography of the huge amount of research done in this area by researchers in the former Soviet Union" Optics & Photonics News ..."a timely and comprehensive treatment of the principles of laser resonators...a valuable resource to laser physicists as well as those scientists and engineers who wish to apply laser beams..." Australian and New Zealand Physicist ..."should be in every laboratory concerned with laser development..." Laser and Optoelektronik "This book is an excellent reference work for the laser physics specialist and post-graduate worker involved in laser resonator design." Laser Magazine ..."the first book to deal specifically with the subject of beam divergence and it is difficult to believe that there will be a better one...this book brings together virtually all the relevant data and turns it into a coherent whole....a quite outstanding book...a pleasure to handle and read...will surely be the definitive treatise for many years."
