Hardbound. This volume contains six review articles on a wide range of topics of current research in optics. The first article deals with various nonlinear optical phenomena in stratified media, showing that resonances which arise from stratification are of considerable importance for achieving low-threshold nonlinear optical devices. It also includes a thorough study of optical bistability and harmonic generation in Kerr nonlinear layered media, and various phase matching techniques are discussed. Recent developments concerning gap solitons in periodic structures, weak photon localization in quasi-periodic structures and enhancement of nonlinear susceptibilities in layered composites are also discussed, as are recent trends involving novel geometries and new materials. The next article reviews the optical aspects of interferometric gravitational-wave detectors. Various optical configurations are reviewed and their sensitivities are estimated for ty
