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 N2 - 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 ER -
