Description
Polarization of Light in Nonlinear Optics provides a unique and detailed introduction to polarization (vectorial) properties of light in intense light fields. The study and understanding of this subject is becoming increasingly important in laser physics, optoelectronics, spectroscopy and optical telecommunications. This volume gives a systematic introduction into the phenomenological and microscopic formalisms of the polarization phenomena in nonlinear optics. Crucial experiments on transmissive, reflective and pump-probe effects involving changing polarization state of light are also discussed. Polarization of Light in Nonlinear Optics will be extremely useful both as a detailed introduction to the subject for students of optical physics and nonlinear optics, and as a reference source for researchers in the field.
