About The Book:

Laser Dynamics: Theory and Applications by Pierre Glorieux offers a compelling analysis of laser dynamics, bridging the gap between laser physics and applied mathematics. The book focuses on providing a clear understanding of laser systems through both theoretical frameworks and experimental validation. It introduces asymptotic techniques, a powerful analytical alternative to traditional numerical simulations, for exploring nonlinear dynamical systems.

The text starts by examining the various time scales involved in the operation of lasers, and then progresses through approximation techniques to explore the effects of these time scales. The book introduces laser dynamical regimes at varying levels of complexity, ranging from standard turn-on experiments to complex phenomena such as chaotic and spontaneous pulsations. Special emphasis is placed on quantitative comparisons between experimental data and theoretical predictions.

This book is ideal for graduate students and researchers in the fields of laser physics, nonlinear dynamics, and applied mathematics. By offering both fresh treatments of classical problems and incorporating the latest research, Laser Dynamics serves as an essential reference for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of laser behavior and its applications.
