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!

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
