Description: "Laser Resonators and Beam Propagation provides a detailed discussion of the properties of optical resonators and laser beams from basic theory to recent research. In addition to describing the fundamental theories of resonators such as geometrical optics, diffraction, coherence, and polarization, the characteristics of all important resonator schemes and their calculation are presented. Experimental examples, practical problems and a collection of measurement techniques support the comprehensive treatment of the subject. Laser Resonators and Beam Propagation is the only book currently available that provides a comprehensive overview of the subject."--BOOK JACKET.
