Classical Relativistic Electrodynamics: Theory of Light Emission and Application to Free Electron Lasers - Advanced Texts in Physics Softcover Reprint of Hardcover 1st Ed. 2004 edition

An advanced course of classical electrodynamics with application to the generation of high-power coherent radiation in the microwave to optical-wave regions. Specifically, it provides readers with the basics of advanced electromagnetic theory and relativistic electrodynamics, guiding them step by step through the theory of free-electron lasers. The theoretical treatment throughout this book is fully developed by means of the usual three-dimensional vector calculus.
