Nonlinear optics is the study of the interaction of intense laser
light with matter. The third edition of this textbook has been
rewritten to conform to the standard SI system of units and
includes comprehensively updated material on the latest
developments in the field.
The book introduces the entire field of optical physics and
specifically the area of nonlinear optics. It focuses on the
fundamental issues including the electromagnetic origin of optical
phenomena, the quantum mechanical description of the optical
properties of matter, the role of spatial symmetries in determining
the optical response, causality and Kramers Kronig relations, and
ultrafast and high intensity optical effects. The book also covers
applied aspects of nonlinear optics such as harmonic generation,
the operation of parametric oscillators, optical switching,
photonics, materials issues in nonlinear optics, and processes such
as laser damage that can restrict the use of nonlinear optics.
This edition contains new material on:
- Applications of harmonic generation including applications within
the fields of microscopy and biophotonics
- Electromagnetically induced transparency
- Spectroscopy based on coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering
(CARS)
Nonlinear Optics appeals to a wide audience of physics, optics,
and electrical engineering students, as well as to working
researchers and engineers. Those in related fields, such as
materials science and chemistry, will also find this book of
particular interest.
