Description: < B> Nonlinear Optics< /B> is an advanced textbook for courses dealing with nonlinear optics, quantum electronics, laser physics, contemporary and quantum optics, and electrooptics. Its pedagogical emphasis is on fundamentals rather than particular, transitory applications. As a result, this textbook will have lasting appeal to a wide audience of electrical engineering, physics, and optics students, as well as those in related fields such as materials science and chemistry. Key Features* The origin of optical nonlinearities, including dependence on the polarization of light* A detailed treatment of the quantum theory of the nonlinear susceptibility* An explication of dressed-atomic states of two-level atoms* A complete development of spontaneous and stimulated light scattering* A clear discussion of the photorefractive effect* An introduction to applications including laser frequency modification, optical phase conjugation, optical bistability, and propagation of optical soliton
