This lecture covers the fundamental principles of lasers, including basic laser operation, laser systems, beam quality, power fluctuations, and laser beam steering. It also delves into advanced topics such as ultrafast lasers, non-linear frequency conversion, and optical fibers. The instructor discusses relaxation oscillations, relative intensity noise, Wiener-Khintchine theorem, and the concept of shot noise in lasers.
