Lasers

Rating:
Summary: In depth, compelling, and complete
Review: An excellent combination of a technical reference and theoretical treatise of laser physics and practical application. Not for the light of heart; as challenging as it needs to be, but no more so. The only deficiency I noted was a lack of thorough discussion of laser diodes.

Rating:
Summary: Absolute must have for scientists and engineers
Review: The greatest reference! If you are looking for quick answers and canned solutions - this is not book for you. Alost all there is to know about lasers.

Summary: The Best Lasers Book
Review: This is universally regarded as the ultimate reference for lasers. After discovering it in grad school, I understand why! Siegman's explanations are truly phenomenal and "Lasers" treats virtually every topic on lasers. Plus, he has comprehensive errata on his website!

Summary: Excellent reference for engineers
Review: Unlike many optics-oriented books, the math in this book will be more familiar to engineers. Most others are written from a Physicist's perspective. An excellent reference for general optics, as well as lasers. More rigorous than many other titles.
