Principles of Laser Physics: Light–Matter Interaction and Laser Operation

Electromagnetic Waves and Maxwell's Equations → Applications of Lasers

This advanced undergraduate path builds the conceptual and mathematical foundations needed to understand laser physics, from quantum mechanical descriptions of atoms and electromagnetic waves to the practical operation of laser cavities and their applications. Learners will explore stimulated emission, population inversion, optical resonators, and coherence, culminating in an understanding of how lasers work and their diverse uses.
