The monograph is devoted to phenomena of nonlinear optics appearing
on a macro scopic level in the interaction of intense light with an
isolated atom. It is a first attempt to summarize the elementary
phenomena of nonlinear optics and present the various methods used
in experiment and theory. In essence, this book can be considered
an expanded version of the new aspect of quantum mechanics and
atomic physics that in time will be incorporated into te- books on
this subject. By the middle of this century the interaction of
light with atoms had become one of the most investigated branches
of physics. However, in the mid-sixties the development of
high-power lasers changed this situation completely. It is a
well-known fact that lasers are essentially new sources of light
with high intensity, sharp directivity, and practically ideal
monochromaticity. Entirely new phenomena came up in the studies of
the interaction of light with atoms. In an intense light field,
multiphoton transitions become important. The field disturbs the
atomic levels, shifting, broadening, and mixing them. In an
extremely strong field the atom ceases to be a bound system. These
and similar phenomena on the atomic (microscopic) level determine
the variations in the averaged, macroscopic properties of the
medium, variations that cause nonlinear-optics phenomena, which
radically change the fundamental classical laws of the interaction
of light with matter."
