This book covers the general features of nonlinear optical effects and describes the materials which exhibit these effects, their special characteristics, and how they are incorporated into commercially useful devices - especially in the fields of telecommunications and optical computing. Chapters are presented on each important class of material, and emphasis is on how each class is particularly suitable for nonlinear optical applications.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
The goal of presenting explanations which are appropriate to an advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate level is well achieved here.a useful reference for those who would like to learn what NLO materials are about and for those in the field who want to get an idea of the state of 'the competition' - Advanced Materials
