Summary: Well, it isn't worth the money...
Review: i have pallab as my teacher, and of course he's using his book to teach from. I find the book hard to follow, poorly written, and illogically ordered. He needs to spend signifigant time working on the usability of the book. The one redeeming factor is that he is an excellent teacher so it somewhat makes up for the book being in such disarray.

Summary: Weak book
Review: Unfortunately my professor used this book for the class. The book is not clear, almost nothing is demonstrated, the index is very short and incomplete, the exercises are not concize, it lacks a lot of theory, and many important devices such as the second harmonic generator are not covered in the book. If I could turn back in time I would never spent a cent on this book.
