Nonlinear Optics probes in great depth quadratic and cubic nonlinearities, photorefractive nonlinear optics, the nonlinear optical properties of nematic liquid crystals, and photonic bandgap structures. This reference places core physical principles and theoretical concepts in dialogue with contemporary applications and research and presents the essential physics behind the products and promise of this very fertile field. It presents new developments in the dispersion management in nonlinear optical fibers and the combined effects of quadratic and cubic nonlinearities on harmonic generation. Coverage includes a review of linear wave propagation and the origins of optical nonlinearity.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Nonlinear optics from an engineer's point of view,
This review is from: Nonlinear Optics: Theory, Numerical Modeling, and Applications (Optical Science and Engineering) (Hardcover)
First, let me start by stating that I would have given the book 4 stars but the first edition has an incredible amount of typesetting mistakes in the equations. If you are working through each equation it is realtively easy to find the mistakes, but it can be a real impediment to learning the material.This book takes a very detailed look at nonlinear optics from an electrical engineering point of view. The important topics are covered, from a modest review of needed Fourier concepts to X(2) and X(3) nonlinear processes. Emphasis in the chapters is placed on development of the material from what I, born a physicist, consider to be an engineer's point of view. Problems at the end of the chapter ask the reader to develop alternate, heuristic approaches in parallel to the chapter. Contrary to the 'editorial review', the end of the chapters do not contain indept examples, I can only assume they are referring to the problems left to the reader. All of that being said, this book takes a rigorous approach to the development of the core nonlinear optics topics. This book would be a good acquisition for anyone in the field of nonlinear optics to round out books such as Boyd's Nonlinear Optics or others. Again, the assertion in the editorial review that this book would be for seniors or first year grad students is, I think, mistaken. This is more for students who have already mastered a core curriculum in optics.
