The 3rd edition has three extra chapters on laser systems and a chapter on phase conjugate optics. In addition the chapter on dielectric waveguides has been expanded to include optical fibers. Here the fiber is treated as a waveguide rather than the usual geometrical optics approach which uses Brewster's law or critical angle. In the waveguide approach the electromagnetics vector wave equation is used. Since the speed of light appears as an inverse square in this equation it should come as no surprise that in a dielectric medium the square of the refractive index will also make its appearance here. He uses a quadratically varying refractive index here in his example and on variable transformation shows this example to be equivalent to Schroedinger's equation for the harmonic oscillator and the modes are displayed or enumerated accordingly. This vector wave equation appears quite regularly in this text. If you've seen it and used it before and you're aware that a mode is just a solution and if you're not surprised or impressed when a particular mode is characterized by a group of integers (Fourier series and boundary conditions) you likely have the required knowledge of electromagnetics for this text. Even so the text by Born and Wolf on optics may be of great help since the E&M treated is applied to physical optics and Born and Wolf is highly detailed here (the standard). This will help you fill in some of the gaps in the derivations. The first three chapters cover the quantum mechanics used in the text. They're quite good. The creation/annihilation operator approach is used for the harmonic oscillator, the ladder operators for angular momentum, and perturbation theory with Fermi's Golden Rule is given. If you can work the exercises and can apply commutator algebra-you're up to speed. If you need more review, Schiff's text on quantum mechanics is available online as a free PDF.The text as a whole deals with those systems which will support or are part of a laser system like an optical resonator and the closely related topic of Gaussian beams (uses paraxial approximation here in geometrical optics-Born and Wolf). Will you be able to construct or design a laser system solely from its contents? Likely not but I'm sure you'll consult it along the way, e.g., laser oscillation condition. Definitely a valuable reference for the laser scientist. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars the book I received is almost a new one in good quality. Nice book *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2017* Although I ordered a used book, the book I received is almost a new one in good quality. Nice book! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A classic book for anyone working in laser diagnostics. *by R***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2016* This is a classic book that covers quantum mechanics, optics and lasers, and more. Recommended for anyone doing laser diagnostics. The used version I bought is in near mint condition. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/12464857-quantum-electronics](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/12464857-quantum-electronics) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
