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!
 
TL;DR Summary: Book after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics I am doing a comprehensive reading of sakurai and I have solved every problem from chapters I finished on my own, I will finish the book within 2 weeks and I want to delve into qft and other particle physics related topics, not from summaries but comprehensive books, I will start a graduate program related to cern in 3 months, I alreadily knew some qft but now I want to do it, hence do a good book with good problems in it first...
TLDR: is Blennow "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" a good follow-up to Altland "Mathematics for physicists"? Hello everybody, returning to physics after 30-something years, I felt the need to brush up my maths first. It took me 6 months and I'm currently more than half way through the Altland "Mathematics for physicists" book, covering the math for undergraduate studies at the right level of sophystication, most of which I howewer already knew (being an aerospace engineer)...
