By Chunfei Li (auth.)

This publication displays the newest advances in nonlinear optics. along with the straightforward, strict mathematical deduction, it additionally discusses the experimental verification and attainable destiny purposes, comparable to the all-optical switches. It continually makes use of the sensible unit approach all through.

It employs basic actual photographs, equivalent to "light waves" and "photons" to systematically clarify the most ideas of nonlinear optical results. It makes use of the first-order nonlinear wave equation in frequency area lower than the of “slowly various amplitude approximation" and the classical version of the interplay among the sunshine and electrical dipole. whilst, it additionally makes use of the speed equations in keeping with the energy-level transition of particle platforms keen on photons and the power and momentum conservation ideas to provide an explanation for the nonlinear optical phenomenon.

The publication is meant for researchers, engineers and graduate scholars within the box of optics, optoelectronics, fiber verbal exchange, info expertise and fabrics etc.
