Nonlinear Optics and Quantum Electronics

This book is based on a course of lectures for advanced students. Part 1 is devoted to an introductory treatment of general concepts and methods to be used for describing nonlinear processes. Part 2 is concerned with the application of these concepts and methods to significant effects and processes, covering also the particular experimental arrangements, measuring methods, and empirical data connected with them.

Max Schubert and Bernd Wilhelmi are the authors of Nonlinear Optics and Quantum Electronics, published by Wiley.
