Description
Springer Photonics Linear And Nonlinear Interactions Of Laser Light And Matter 2007 Edition by Ralf Menzel
Shows how nonlinear phenomena play a more and more important role for everybody using the laser "as a tool" making it unique in this respect.Provides a basic knowledge of modern lasers as well as the principles of nonlinear optical spectroscopy (and an exhaustive list of 4000 references)From first-edition reviews: "Almost a handbook reviewing in a single author's voice the basic properties of light and its linear and nonlinear interactions with matter both in the absence and in the presence of absorption." Physics Today Table of contents : Topics in Photonics.- Properties and Description of Light.- Linear Interactions Between Light and Matter.- Nonlinear Interactions of Light and Matter Without Absorption.- Nonlinear Interactions of Light and Matter with Absorption.- Lasers.- Nonlinear Optical Spectroscopy.
