Quantum Electronics for Atomic Physics and Telecommunication
Quantum Electronics for Atomic Physics and Telecommunication by Warren G. Nagourney is a comprehensive resource published by Oxford University Press in 2014. This second edition spans 475 pages and is presented in English. The book serves as a course in quantum electronics tailored for researchers in atomic physics and related fields, including telecommunications, covering essential topics such as Gaussian beams, lasers, and nonlinear optics.
Readers will find an in-depth exploration of both traditional and less common areas within quantum electronics. The text addresses practical applications like enhancing nonlinear processes in cavities, laser frequency stabilization, and astigmatism in ring cavities. Notably, this edition introduces a complete chapter on optical waveguide theory and updates on mode-locked fiber lasers and comb generation in micro-resonators. The book is designed to provide valuable insights into the intersection of quantum theory and technology, making it a significant addition to the literature in science and engineering.
Official synopsis Publisher
Quantum Electronics for Atomic Physics provides a course in quantum electronics for researchers in atomic physics and other related areas such as telecommunications. The book covers the usual topics, such as Gaussian beams, lasers, nonlinear optics and modulation techniques, but also includes a number of areas not usually found in a textbook on quantum electronics. Among the latter are such practical matters as the enhancement of nonlinear processes in a build-up cavity or periodically polled waveguide, impedance matching into a cavity, laser frequency stabilization (including servomechanism theory), astigmatism in ring cavities, and frequency locking a laser to an atomic or molecular line.
The second edition includes a new complete chapter on optical waveguide theory, fiber optic components and fiber lasers. Other updates include new coverage of mode locked fiber lasers, comb generation in a micro-resonator, and periodically poled optical waveguides.
