Preface
Nonlinear Optics is one of subdisciplines of Modern Optics, it has an important academic status in the Modern Optics as same as the Laser Physics. Laser Physics studies on the principle of laser devices and properties of laser, the main research contents include the stimulated radiation theory, optical resonant cavity theory, laser propagation theory, laser coherence theory, laser frequency spectrum, laser spatial mode, and laser power property. Nonlinear Optics studies on various kinds of nonlinear effects in the interaction between laser and matter. The research contents include two aspects: one is studying in the laser how to change the macroscopic parameters of matter (susceptibility, dielectric coefficient, refractive index, absorption coefficient, etc.) and the microscopic structure of matter, thereby to realize “controlling matter by laser”; other one is studying in the pump laser induced matter change how to effect the parameters of the signal light propagating in the matter (frequency, power, wave vector, phase, pulse width, frequency spectrum, group velocity, propagation direction, etc.), thereby to realize “controlling light with light.” In short, Laser Physics studies the laser generation method; and Nonlinear Optics studies the laser controlling method, the two courses are
