Emphasis on applications of lasers and on optical physics rather than lasers
Discussions have been focusing on the basic physics of the interaction of light with matter and the basic operating principles of lasers
Significant additions including sections on Polarization and Modulation, Frequency Stabilization, and an expanded section on Amplified Spontaneous Emission
New chapter on Introduction to Nonlinear Optics
New sections on chirped-pulse amplification and fiber amplifiers
A section on Adaptive Optics for Astronomy, a topic of growing interest for correcting the effects of atmospheric turbulence on large ground-based telescopes, has been included
