Nonlinear Optics in Solids: Proceedings

The broad-based coverage of this book stretches from the basic physical principles of nonlinear interaction of light with condensed matter to topics of current research interest. It provides a balanced treatment of theoretical and experimental aspects of the following subjects: nonlinear optics of semiconductor quantum wells, disordered media, surfaces, metals and organic solids; nonlinear effects in fibres; optical phase conjugation; field quantization and the production of nonclassical light; cavity quantum electrodynamics; radiation pressure in nonlinear optics; Brillouin scattering from opaque surfaces and optical bistability.
