Electromagnetic Resonances in Nonlinear Optics

This book is devoted to the numerous phenomena arising from the interplay between electromagnetic resonances and nonlinear optical interactions. Electromagnetic resonances are associated with surface plasmas or guided waves, excited in nonlinear optical resonators such as prisms or grating couplers. Electromagnetic Resonances in Nonlinear Optics covers related areas including rigorous theories of diffraction by gratings in nonlinear optics, presented in a form ready for numerical implementations; scattering the matrix description in nonlinear optics leading to the phenomological approach based on the use of poles and zeros and other behaviors. It is essential reading for those working or studying in optics, physics, electromagnetism, nonlinear optics, diffraction gratings and guided waves.
