Product Description
This book is about nonlinear optics, the study of how high-intensity light propagates through and interacts with matter. It is a subject so scientifically rich and technologically promising that it is destined to become one of the most important areas of scientific research over the next quarter century. This book is written for graduate students and the newcomers to nonlinear optics, or anyone who wants to get a unified picture of the whole subject. It takes the reader from the starting point of Maxwells equations to some of the frontiers of modern research in the subject. The material is best taught in a year-long course. Students should have some familiarity with mathematical methods. Fourier series and Fourier integrals, elementary complex variables, elementary ordinary and partial differential equations, and vector calculus and should have has a course (undergraduate level is sufficient) in electromagnetic theory. Chapters contain description, theory, worked-out exercises and problems, and applications.
