This lecture covers the principles of cavities and lasers, starting with the Fabry-Perot resonator and optical resonators. It delves into Gaussian beam resonators, cavity configurations, and applications like Cavity Ring Down Spectroscopy. The lecture also explores black body radiation, the photoelectric effect, Bohr model, Fermi's Golden Rule, and absorption-emission-stimulated emission processes in lasers.
