By: Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextPublication details: Boca Raton : CRC Press, ©2017.Edition: Second editionDescription: xx, 480 pages : illustrations ; 26 cmISBN:
  • 9781498736831 (hardback ; alk. paper)
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 535.2 23 P888
Contents:
1. Introduction -- 2. Linear optics -- 3. Introduction to the nonlinear susceptibility -- 4. Three-wave processes in the small-signal regime -- 5. Quasi-phase matching -- 6. Three-wave mixing beyond the small-signal limit -- 7. x(2) devices -- 8. x(3) processes -- 9. Raman and Brillouin scattering -- 10. Nonlinear optics including diffraction and dispersion -- 11. Quantum nonlinear optics -- Appendices.
Summary: The book is a pedagogical guide aimed at a diverse audience including engineers, physicists, and chemists who want a tiered approach to understanding nonlinear optics. The material is augmented by numerous problems, with many requiring the reader to perform real-world calculations for a range of fields, from optical communications to remote sensing and quantum information. Analytical solutions of equations are covered in detail and numerical approaches to solving problems are explained and demonstrated.
