Linear and Nonlinear Optical Spectroscopy and Microscopy: 29 (Progress in Optical Science and Photonics, 29) [Hardcover] [Mar 14, 2024] Sun, Mengtao; Mu, Xijiao and Li, Rui

The nonlinear optical spectrum signal technology is a new type of optical characterization technology owing to its non-invasiveness and good biocompatibility. This book highlights a comprehensive introduction to the Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS), Anti-Stokes Raman Spectroscopy (CARS), Two-photon Excited Fluorescence (TPEF) and Second Harmonic Generation signals (SHG) technologies. The four types of nonlinear optical signals technologies, especially two-dimensional and three-dimensional imaging, have great application potential in physics, materials science, chemistry and biomedicine. The book covers principles, theoretical calculation methods, signal measurement methods and imaging specific methods. The theoretical part starts from the basics of nonlinear optics and the relationship with strong light, and gradually transitions to theoretical calculation methods for specific optical signals. it combines the classical theory and the quantum theory to help readers develop a thorough understanding of the technologies. The book is a good reference for graduate students majored in physics and chemistry and for researchers working on optics, photonics and materials science. 

Mengtao Sun obtained his Ph.D. in 2003 from the State Key Laboratory of Molecular Reaction Dynamics, Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). From 2003 to 2006, he worked as a postdoc at the Department of Chemical Physics, Lund University. Since 2006, as an Associate Professor, he has worked at the Beijing National Laboratory for Condensed Matter Physics, Institute of Physics, CAS. In 2016, he became a Full Professor in University of Science and Technology Beijing, China. His current research interests focus on one and two photon absorptions in organic molecules, two dimensional (2D) materials and plasmonics, as well as the exciton-plasmon coupling interaction for molecular spectroscopy and surface catalytic reaction.
