About this title

Synopsis

Hardbound. Volume 31 in the Progress in Optics series again proves the value of well written comprehensive reviews in the broad field of optics.

The first article presents a thorough review of recent investigations concerning multiphoton ionization of atoms in intense radiation fields and includes discussions on above threshold ionization, generation of higher-order harmonics of an intense field interacting with a gaseous medium and the role of chaotic dynamics in the interaction of atoms with monochromatic radiation. A tutorial section on chaotic behavior is also included.

The second article presents a review of modern developments regarding properties of light diffracted by gratings. Both a phenomenological treatment and a macroscopic analysis are presented.

The following article reviews developments relating to optical amplifiers, especially those which use semiconductors and optical fibers. The article covers the operating princip

Review
