Handbook of Nonlinear Optics (Optical Science and Engineering)

Examining the fundamental principles and formulations of nonlinear optics (NLO), this comprehensive, single-source reference presents practical formulas for use in a variety of experimental and design situations, current applications of NLO to specific technical problems, the latest device and materials data, and state-of-the-art methods for characterizing new materials--supplying much-needed continuity in nomenclature and the use of physical units.
