Overview
- Nonlinear phenomena play a more and more important role for everybody using the laser "as a tool"
- The text is unique in this respect and shows how to use photons from laser light as a nonlinear tool
- A realm of nonlinear effects can be found in the text
- About 4000 references listed
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"Ralf Menzel's ambitious Photonics aims to "assemble the necessary knowledge ranging from the basic principles of quantum physics to the methods describing light and its linear and nonlinear interaction with matter, to practical hints on how the different types of lasers and spectroscopic and other measuring techniques can be applied." This self-description is accurate. The result is almost a handbook, reviewing in a single author's voice the basic properties of light and its linear and nonlinear interactions with matter, both in the absence and in the presence of absorption. A final section on nonlinear optical spectroscopy follows a section reviewing principles and properties of lasers.
(...) a clear compendium of useful information, giving quick snapshots of concepts in linear and nonlinear spectroscopy."
