TL;DR Summary: Text recommendations for laser ablation for grad student.

Hi all,

Long time reader, first time poster. I graduated with a B.Sc. in physics in May 2024. I am now currently doing research in my graduate studies. As such, I have been tasked with finding one or two good textbooks and/or some papers on lasers. I am curious to see what the community thinks would be a good textbook to use to learn the topic and covers laser ablation. I am primarily interested in the fluence as a function of distance for laser ablation. I have come across a few online, but nothing is quite on par with what I am aiming to find.

Thank you in advance!

Im currently reading mathematics for physicists by Philippe Dennery and André Krzywicki, and I’m understanding most concepts however I think it would be better for me to get a book on complex analysis or calculus to better understand it so I’m not left looking at an equation for an hour trying to figure out what it means. So here comes the split, do I get a complex analysis book? Or a calculus book? I might be able to Borrow a calculus textbook from my math teacher study that for a bit and...
