About The Book:
The fourth edition of Quantum Optics and Laser Physics by Miguel Orszag offers a comprehensive and updated exploration of the fundamental principles and advanced topics in laser-related phenomena. Designed for graduate students, scientists, and engineers, this book equips readers with the necessary tools and understanding to conduct research in quantum optics and laser physics.

The book provides an in-depth treatment of essential topics such as the quantization of the electromagnetic field, atom-field interaction models, resonance fluorescence, and the quantum theory of damping. Theories such as laser theory based on both the master equation and Langevin theory are thoroughly covered, along with advanced subjects like the correlated emission laser, input-output theory in non-linear optics, quantum trajectories, and quantum non-demolition measurements.

The fourth edition introduces a new chapter on weak measurement, as well as one on complementarity, and includes updated material on atom optics. New problems and solution hints are also provided to help reinforce and deepen understanding. This edition presents each topic in a unified and pedagogical manner, making it an ideal resource for anyone studying or researching in the field of quantum optics and laser physics.
