Required Text: Lasers by Peter W. Milonni , Joseph H. Eberly ISBN 0471627313. This text lists for almost CAN $230, but I don't know how much the bookstore will actually charge. From Amazon.com, I have seen used copies for USD $45 and new copies for USD $70. The lone copy in the library will be placed on reserve. I have also asked the bookstore to order Siegman, which is a recommended but optional text.

Others Recommended Texts (most on reserve):

  • Saleh and Teich, Fundamentals of Photonics
  • Allen and Eberly, Optical Resonance and Two-level Atoms
  • Levenson and Kano, Introduction to Nonlinear Laser Spectroscopy
  • Hecht, Optics
  • Fowles, Introduction to Modern Optics
  • Verdeyen, Laser Electronics
  • Siegman, Lasers
  • Yariv, Quantum Electronics
  • Jackson, Classical Electrodynamics
