Notions And Perspectives Of Nonlinear Optics - Proceedings Of The Third International Aalborg Summer School On Nonlinear Optics

This book deals with basic physical properties related to the nonlinear interaction of light and matter. Nonlinear effects in atomic (molecular) systems and condensed matter are described, and classical phenomena as well as phenomena requiring a field-quantised description are covered. Leading authorities in nonlinear optics have reviewed themes of current interest in the research literature, and described general principles of importance for newcomers to the field.
