The Physics of Laser RadiationMatter Interaction

Focusing on the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter, this textbook provides a comprehensive exploration from electrodynamics to advanced concepts like the Fresnel equations and Snell's law. It delves into the behavior of accelerated charges and various types of radiation, progressively addressing interactions among multiple particles and solid-state phenomena through classical and quantum mechanics. It culminates in specific interactions of laser radiation, aiming to enhance students' intuitive understanding of the physics behind laser technology, making it suitable for graduate-level study.
