Author Description

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.
