Fundamentals of Nonlinear Optics of Atomic Gases

by Vladimir P. Krainov and Nikola&ibreve; B. Delone

Although a wide range of monographs are devoted directly or indirectly to nonlinear optics, this book is the first to treat the subject simply and consistently, with concise yet thorough descriptions of all interrelated phenomena, from the microscopic to the macroscopic. Using a simple model of a time-independent interaction of monochromatic light with an atomic gas, it describes the elementary nonlinear processes that emerge for an isolated atom,...
