Overview
This comprehensive textbook provides a detailed introduction to the basic physics and engineering aspects of lasers, as well as to the design and operational principles of a wide range of optical systems and electro-optic devices. Throughout, full details of important derivations and results are given, as are many practical examples of the design, construction and performance characteristics of different types of lasers and electro-optic devices. Covering a broad range of topics in modern optical physics and engineering, this book will be invaluable to those taking undergraduate courses in laser physics, optoelectronics, photonics and optical engineering. It will also act as a useful reference for graduate students and researchers in these fields.

Reviews
.. .a comprehensive undergraduate text that provides a broad but detailed introduction to the basic underpinnings of lasers and modern optical systems. Physics Today
'Pitched at specialist undergraduate or graduate students, this book can be warmly recommended ... liberally supported by examples of the latest technology and contains a healthy set of references.' Nature 'Lasers and Electro-Optics is well written and appears to have been tested as a text. The author's success in treating most of the topics at essentially the same level - that of the advanced undergraduate - is noteworthy ... In summary, Lasers and Electro-Optics is well conceived, well written and nicely organised. It represents a valuable addition to the collection of undergraduate texts available today in laser physics.' John Brandenberger, Physics Today 'Christopher Davis's 20-year teaching efforts have resulted in an introductory and encyclopaedic textbook ... To obtain the similar amount of fundamental and practical knowledge about lasers and electro-optics, I would otherwise have to consult at least three different books.' Farhad Akhavan, Optonics and Photonics News
