Ujihara K. Output Coupling in Optical Cavities and Lasers: A Quantum Theoretical Approach

Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, Germany, 2010. — 410 p. — ISBN: 3527407634After a half-century from the birth of the laser, we now see lasers in a variety of locations in academic institutions and industrial settings, as well as in everyday life. The species of laser are diverse. The core of quantum-mechanical laser theory was established in the 1960s by the Haken school and Scully. Semiclassical gas laser theory was also established in the 1960s by Lamb. Subsequently, many theoretical works on lasers have appeared for specific types of lasers or for specific operation modes. So, laser science is now mature and seems to leave little to be elucidated. Laser science has evolved into many branches of quantum-optical science, including coherent interaction, nonlinear optics, optical communications, quantum-optical information, quantum computation, laser-cooled atoms, and Bose–Einstein condensation, as well as gravitational wave detection by laser interferometer. Laser light is typical classical light, in that it closely simulates the
coherent state of light, while in recent years light with non-classical quality has claimed more and more attention.A One-Dimensional Optical Cavity with Output Coupling: Classical Analysis
