Lectures on Quantum Optics

Quantization of the radiation field in the presence of passive optical devices such as beam splitters, spectral filters, and lossy cavities Theory of detection of light (photocounting, correlation measurements, spectral and homodyne detection) Properties, generation, and application of non-classical (antibunched, sub-Poissonian, squeezed) light Methods of relaxation theory Fundamental interactions of atoms with light (resonance fluorescence, atom in a high-Q cavity).
