Laser Dynamics

Informationen zum Autor THOMAS ERNEUX is a Professor of Theoretical Nonlinear Optics at Université Libre de Bruxelles. His current interests concentrate on studying specific laser dynamical phenomena and the applications of delay differential equations in all areas of science and engineering. PIERRE GLORIEUX is a Professor in the Laboratoire de Physique des Lasers, Atomes et Molécules, Université des Sciences & Technologies de Lille, and a senior member of the Institut Universitaire de France. Recently he has studied spatiotemporal dynamics in liquid crystals and photorefractive oscillators. Klappentext Bridging the gap between laser physics and applied mathematics, this book describes laser dynamics for graduate students and researchers. Zusammenfassung Bridging the gap between laser physics and applied mathematics! this book offers a new perspective on laser dynamics for graduate students and researchers.
