| Kurzbeschreibung
This book is based on tried and tested courses taught by the author, George Stegeman, who is one of the experimental pioneers in nonlinear optics. The book starts with second order phenomena, goes on to explain the derivation of nonlinear susceptibilities, and finishes with a thorough discussion of third order nonlinear effects. Included is a simple "electron on a spring" model, which helps everyone from graduate students to scientists to engineers working in the fields of nonlinear optics, laser physics, electrical engineering, telecommunications and spectroscopy along their journey through the field of nonlinear optics.
