Synopsis

Nonlinear optics (NLO) is the branch of optics that describes the behavior of light in nonlinear media . . . that is, media in which the dielectric polarization P responds nonlinearally to intensities such as those provided by pulsed lasers. Nonlinear optics is of considerable research interest since it includes free space and guided wave nonlinear optics, weak (second and third order etc. effects) and strong (non-perturbative) nonlinearities, fast (electronics fs timescale) and slow (thermal ms timescale) nonlinearities, novel nonlinear materials, numerical simulation of nonlinear optical propagation, applications of nonlinear optics in fields such as signal processing, optical communications, holographic memory and soliton phenomena. This new book provides the latest research from around the globe in this fast-moving field.
