Reviews

'The strength of this book is, as I remarked earlier, the extensive mathematical treatments, including coherence length and time. ... The authors' book subtitle stresses the principles of coherent X-ray generation and this is indeed brought out in various aspects such as longitudinal and transverse coherence. Their illustration with respect to Young's two-slit interference experiment is a neat didactic touch. ... To summarize, this book is a feast of mathematical physics and deserves extensive study to fully understand synchrotron radiation and FELs, and their coherence emission, in all their glories. Their development is one of the most remarkable scientific and technological advances of all of the last 50 years or so.' John R. Helliwell, Journal of Synchrotron Radiation
