A lively forum on key issues and a stimulus for further research The immense strides in optical science that have taken place since the statistical molecular theories of electric, magnetic, and optical saturation phenomena came to light in the late fifties have been remarkable. This volume of influential review articles from many of the leading laboratories around the world details the most important research and findings to date on modern nonlinear optics. Coedited by a leading figure at the Poznań School, this book reflects the rigor, high standards, and innovative science for which the school has long been internationally renowned. This volume in Wiley's Advances in Chemical Physics series presents key research in chemical physics in a stimulating and broadly instructive format. Like all the volumes in the series, it is designed for the busy scientist determined to keep abreast of the literature in the many corners of scientific research. It provides an informative, accessible look at the newest areas of analytical research. Modern Nonlinear Optics presents a host of cutting-edge research topics. Part 3 of this three-part volume offers both a lively forum on the key issues and discoveries currently shaping optical science and a stimulus for further advanced research. Professionals interested in the newest and most influential ideas shaping optical science today will also find a unique glimpse at the future of the discipline.

A comprehensive and up-to-date resource for the study of nonlinear optics Modern Nonlinear Optics serves as an updated, second edition of volume 85 of the series Advances in Chemical Physics. Utilizing the research of world-renowned experts, Modern Nonlinear Optics presents a dialogue between two prevailing schools of thought: one concerned with quantum optics and Abelian electrodynamics, the other with the emerging subject of non-Abelian electrodynamics and unified field theory. The prevailing paradigm–the Maxwell Heaviside theory–is developed in fields such as quantum optics, antenna theory, and holography, but it is also challenged using general relativity, O(3) electrodynamics, superluminal effects, and several other theories. This wide spectrum of opinion is presented so that a consensus can emerge. In addition, Modern Nonlinear Optics surveys developments over the last ten years, including advances in light squeezing, single photon optics, phase conjunction optics, and laser technology. It reviews thousands of papers emerging from both schools of thought and provides the most up-to-date and complete coverage available.

Significant advances have occurred in the field since the previous edition, including advances in light squeezing, single photon optics, phase conjugation, and laser technology. The laser is essentially responsible for nonlinear effects and is extensively used in all branches of science, industry, and medicine.
