Reviews for Synchrotron Radiation and Free-Electron Lasers: Principles of Coherent X-Ray Generation
'The strength of this book is, as I remarked earlier, the extensive mathematical treatments, including coherence length and time. ... The authors' book subtitle stresses the principles of coherent X-ray generation and this is indeed brought out in various aspects such as longitudinal and transverse coherence. Their illustration with respect to Young's two-slit interference experiment is a neat didactic touch. ... Read more
