Book Description

Lasers is both a textbook and a general reference book with an emphasis on basic laser principles and theory. A unique feature is that it gives a complete, detailed, and accurate treatment of laser physics, building only on classical models, without requiring the reader to have a quantum mechanical background. It is for all scientists and engineers who work with lasers.

A wonderful introduction.......2007-08-07

This remarkable text is a wonderful introduction to the world of lasers, especially good for undergraduate courses, particularly for engineers.

The basic principles and practice are explained with extraordinary clarity, and without any significant mention of quantum mechanics. The main weakness of the book is the lack of information on semiconductor laser diodes - so central these days to many branches of laser engineering.

For those wanting a more advanced undergraduate - or physics-based text - an excellent complementary text to Siegman's is Orazio Svelto's 'Principles of Lasers'.

Siegman's book is an excellent engineering text - a terrific introduction for anybody who is new to lasers.

Excellent.......2006-08-09

Clear, insightful, and fun to read. If you want to understand lasers, this is your best bet. Siegman also reviews his references, which is great. I actually bought a couple of books as a result of his suggestions. He is an outstanding professor from Stanford. Do I need to say anything else?

Lasers .......2005-10-23

Although now dated this text still is an excellent reference book for laser scientists and optics graduate students. An updated version covering recent advances is needed.

The Best Lasers Book.......2002-03-20

This is universally regarded as the ultimate reference for lasers. After discovering it in grad school, I understand why! Siegman's explanations are truly phenomenal and "Lasers" treats virtually every topic on lasers. Plus, he has comprehensive errata on his website!

Excellent reference for engineers.......2001-05-31

Unlike many optics-oriented books, the math in this book will be more familiar to engineers. Most others are written from a Physicist's perspective. An excellent reference for general optics, as well as lasers. More rigorous than many other titles.

An excellent guidebook for engineers and non-technical users.......2001-06-18

The book is intended to be the introductory laser textbook and also intended to be utilized as a professional reference book for laser engineers and non-technical laser users that requiring a knowledge of the basic fundamentals and the latest advances in laser. In addition to the pedagogy within the book, the author develop the entire text into a coherent treatise starting from basic principles, and makes the book a joy to read. This is one of the best lasers books today, fun and easy to use, excellent overview and excellent explanations. This book covers the most important aspects of lasers. It has information on many types of lasers and includes a lot of practical information. The author is really interested in teaching the subject. It is an excellent book.

Interventional procedures for the body imager as well as interventionalist........2005-09-29

This book is weighted towards the interventional radiologist however topics and procedures for body imagers/general radiologists would also benefit. Each procedure is covered in detail from indication, preparation, procedure, complications and post procedure information. Also covered is relavent pharmacology for the radiologist including managing contrast reactions. The size is small enough for a jacket pocket and the text is clear and concise.

Excellent Source of Information.......2003-05-03

Every nurse working in Interventional Radiology should have this book. Bravo to Kandarpa and Aruny for bringing us this USEFUL, easy to use, information packed book. I cannot say enough good things about it, a must have book.... it's become my survival guide!

Healing Photons: The Science & Art of Blood Irradiation Therapy.......2007-07-19

A growing number of people are becoming disenchanted by the modern medical system. Medical procedures and drug prices are high. Technology and research often lags behind the need to treat growing levels of illness. Drug resistant strains of infection, bacteria, and virus retard the process that much more.

Some scientists and interested individuals are looking to alternative therapies. One such potential is Blood Irradiation (BI) Therapy. At the simplest level of explanation, this treatment makes use of specific wave lengths of light to kill infection, bacteria, and viruses. Pioneered in the USA in the 1920's, BI has been integrated into contemporary medicine in Russia and in East Germany. The costs are minimal, the process fairly simple to use, and studies of the wide ranging potential of BI (including but not limited to AIDS/HIV, liver disease, bronchial asthma, and hypertension).

Healing Photons explores Blood Irradiation Therapy in some depth discussing the history, the way BI works, the various ways that the therapy has been used, the effectiveness of these treatments, and ideas about the further potential uses. I completely agree with the author, these techniques need to be studied and thoroughly tested (including long range trials) to see what potential they hold in the fight against infection and disease.

Review of Healing Photons.......2006-02-17

This text is BRILLIANT! Ken Dillon, PhD is the author of the definitive book about Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation therapy. I have read other texts on this subject over the years and am happy to say that Dr. Dillon's book is rated #1 in my opinion. I have used this therapy on thousands of clients and have witnessed incredible results in respect to their healing. One does not need medications, surgery, or chemotherapy. This book explains the biophysics behind how to stimulate the body's own healing power by using UBI! This book is a quick read for both layperson and clinician. There is no fluff, no hype, just facts and the medical study references from the past to back the text up. Anyone in alternative medicine MUST read this book and have it in their personal or office medical library. This text, provided the service is offered will revolutionize alternative medicine. This book, for practitioners who use IV therapies is a must own.
