Verdeyen Laser Electronics

The definitive work on laser engineering. A good reference for all things laser. It's also a pretty good read, for a textbook. A copy of this probably belongs on the bookshelf of anybody in the laser/photonics field. There are many errors in it, for example the Einstein A coefficient listed for the Ne laser transition, so numbers should be double checked against other references.
An excellent reference book for lasers.

This book is definately not for the novice. This book covers a large amount of material in its 777 pages. I got this book as an undergraduate for an advanced optics survey course. It was a little sparse on the explanations for an undergraduate. In graduate school however, this text has come in handy a number of times to fill in the gaps from other books or in heavy-duty problem solving. His coverage of gain saturation, broadening and line-widths I thought were especially usefull, as well as his coverage of the ABCD matrices. All in all, a must-have for your optics bookshelf.
Great Book for Intermediate/Advanced Understanding

This is an excellent book for those intend to major into Laser Physics with emphasis in practical, theoretical and modelling sides of Laser Physics but I agree that this book would be very tough for those who start learning Physics. But the mathematics is elegant with emphasis on the real world.
Too complicated for entry level student

This book is too hard for senior undergrad. student. It is better for advanced grad. student and sr. engineers.
