Description of  Nonlinear Optics: Phenomena, Materials and Devices

Clear, integrated coverage of all aspects of nonlinear opticsphenomena, materials, and devices Coauthored by George Stegeman, one of the most highly respected pioneers of nonlinear opticswith contributions on applications from Robert Stegemanthis book covers nonlinear optics from a combined physics, optics, materials science, and devices perspective. It offers a thoroughly balanced treatment of concepts, nonlinear materials, practical aspects of nonlinear devices, and current application areas. Beginning with the presentation of a simple electron on a spring modelto help readers make the leap from concepts to applications gives comprehensive explanations of second-order phenomena, derivation of nonlinear susceptibilities, third-order nonlinear effects, multi-wave mixing, scattering, and more.
