Quantum Optics and Lasers: Principles and Experiments

Publisher Marketing: This book covers a wide spectrum of complications and principles related to the concepts of Quantum Optics and Laser Experiments. These dynamically growing branches of physics are of extreme importance both for theoretical comprehension of the quantum nature of optical phenomena as well as its practical applications. The book consists of theoretical contributions related to such problems like a general method to elucidate electromagnetic field states with correlation functions of distinct nature, photon localization, mathematical setup required for field state rebuilding on the basis of limited set of observables, non-classical characteristics of some superpositions of field states in time-varying media, and quantum electrodynamics procedures in powerful fields provided by pulsed laser beams. Experimental contributions have been discussed regarding few quantum optics processes in photonic crystals - media with spatially adjusted dielectric properties - as well as topics regarding the creation of cloud of cold atoms in magneto optical trap. The book provides the readers with the requisite general knowledge of the phenomena under discussion and well-explained mathematical calculations. Contributor Bio:  Rogers, Glenn Glenn T. Rogers, MD, currently is a staff physician at the Baechtel Creek Medical Center in rural northern California. He attended UC Berkeley, majored in mathematics. He was accepted to the PhD program there, but decided to start a business importing embroidered clothes from Mexico. He perfected his Spanish by spending 3-4 months of the year in Mexico, tending to his import business. After doing some soul searching he decided he wanted to something more important, and applied to medical school. Dr. Rogers was accepted and attended the University of Cincinnati, and did a residency in Internal Medicine at L. A. County+USC. Many of the many patients were Spanish-speaking only, and again he was able to work on his medical Spanish. The first edition of his best selling dictionary was authored and published during his residency. DR. Rogers later worked in the ER for 3 years at LAC+USC, then private practice in Bakersfield for 2 years.
