Lorenz Model: interaction of light with bound electron

Description

This lecture covers the fundamentals of laser technology, starting with the amplification process of light and its relation to atomic structure. It then delves into the Helmholtz wave equation, describing electromagnetic waves in free space and their polarization. The electron oscillator model is introduced to explain light attenuation, focusing on the Lorentz model and the interaction of light with a bound electron.
