Prefaces are usually written when a manuscript is finished. Having
finished this book I can clearly see many shortcomings in it. But
if I began to eliminate them I would probably write quite a
different book in another two years; indeed, this has already
happened once. In 1979, when I finished the first version of this
book, it was much broader in scope and was to be titled "Laser
Photochemistry." Corrections and additions to that unpublished
manuscript gave rise to the present book with its revised title and
more specific subject matter. I resolved to have it published in
exactly this form, despite the fact that it concerns a dynamically
developing field of research and will soon make way for other
works. This book contains the basic ideas and results I have been
developing with my colleagues, friends and students at the
Institute of Spectroscopy, USSR Academy of Sciences, in the town of
Troitsk since 1970. It deals with the interaction of light with
atoms and molecules via multiple-phonon inter action. Nonlinear
processes in the resonant interaction are used to illustrate the
physical mechanisms involved and to indicate how these processes
have led to modern applications such as isotope separation,
detection of single atoms and molecules, and chemical and
biochemical synthesis."
