Summary of the subject: The quantum basics of the operation of lasers and quantum amplifiers are considered. The propagation of laser beams is described. The calculation of open optical resonators and its characteristics is given. Based on the quantum description of atoms and the classical approach to the electromagnetic field, a method of calculating the probabilities of forced (induced) radiation and absorption of electromagnetic field quanta by atoms is presented. On the basis of the density matrix, the laser medium was analyzed from the point of view of interaction with the electromagnetic field. Expressions for calculating the amplification index of the active medium have been obtained. The interaction of laser radiation with a medium with a homogeneous and inhomogeneous extended spectral line is considered. The conditions for the occurrence of generation for a four-level laser system have been found. The conditions for the maximum output power of the laser have been determined. The following operating modes of lasers are considered: continuous, relaxation oscillations in lasers, mode of modulated Q, mode of mode synchronization. Different types of lasers are described: solid-state, liquid, gas, molecular, semiconductor. The physical principles of their operation, characteristics, and areas of application are considered.
