Published: 2007-09-10 | ISBN: 3540231609 | PDF | 1024 pages | 8.64 MB
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
