Allen and Eberly, who have been most actively engaged in the expanding field of laser physics have written this introduction to optical resonance, pulse propagation and superradiance and allied phenomena relying mainly on quasiclassical methods. The mathematical apparatus and the actual, minimal, amount of quantum electrodynamics put to use, should make this text accessible to every graduate physicist.
