Description
A thorough treatment of the phenomenology of the interaction of light with matter. Developing a broad range of topics based on a limited number of basic principles, the book discusses the phenomena of nonlinear optics in terms of simple "electron on a spring" models. The book includes discussions of nonlinear optical coefficients, propagation, phase matching, efficiency, harmonic generation, parametric processes, optical applications of nonlinear optics, optical bistability raman lasers and stimulated Brillouin scattering.
