The interaction of light with matter, in particular metals, is one
of the classical areas of physical studies, and has contributed
tremendously to our present understanding of physics. Light has
been used successfully to investigate the electronic, magnetic and
atomic structure of metal surfaces, as well as thin films,
multi-layers, and interfaces. Such optical studies represent a
non-destructive technique for materials characterization. The study
of magnetism is of particular interest, not only for basic
research, but also in view of a variety of applications like
storage of information and magnetic recording. For many years the
linear Kerr effect, typically exhibiting in metals Kerr rotations
of less than one degree, has been used and developed as a
successful tool for solid state physics research and applications.
Only recently nonlinear optical effects in metals and in particular
nonlinear magneto-optical effects have become an intensive area of
studies. Due to the high interface sensitivity of nonlinear
magneto-optics in contrast to linear magneto-optics, such studies
lead to a new tool of investigating electronic stucture and
magnetism at metallic interfaces, in thin films and multilayers.
The high sensitivity of nonlinear optics and in particular the
related, strikingly large Kerr rotations have been a remarkable
experimental observation and an impressive example that Maxwell's
equations still offer surprises. While future work on electronic
and atomic structural phase transitions, on lateral and in-depth
resolution of film structure, magnetic contrasts, domain
structures, anti-ferromagnetism, or magnetic anisotropy effects
will reveal the full potential of second harmonic light generation
as a new tool of interface and film research, this book will give a
comprehensive introduction to the state of the art in the subject,
and will lay the ground for further developments.
