Elements of Quantum Optics

Elements of Quantum Optics by Pierre Meystre, Murray Sargent.

Elements of Quantum Optics gives a broad coverage of the basic elements necessary to understanding and researching laser physics and quantum optics. It presents a variety of theoretical tools and important results for two-level and semiconductor media, many of which could only be found in the origin...
