商品簡介
Reflecting recent advances in nonlinear optics, this second edition handbook covers the theory of second- and third-order nonlinear optics focusing on useful topics for engineers and scientists involved in characterization of nonlinear materials, application of nonlinear optics in scientific studies, and photonics. Sutherland, a senior scientist in private industry, includes mathematical formulas, materials data, and illustrations. This edition contains a new preface and 17 chapters including ultrafast characterization techniques, laser flash photolysis, electro-optic effects, pulsed two-beam coupling, nonlinear optics in fibers, optical switching and limiting, and frequency conversion.
