Download or read book Principles of Nonlinear Optical Spectroscopy written by Shaul Mukamel and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1995 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nonlinear optical interaction of laser fields with matter provide powerful spectroscopic tools for the understanding of microscopic interactions and dynamic processes. This volume provides a systematic account of a wide class of nonlinear spectroscopic techniques, in time domain and frequency domain, for researchers and graduate students in the field. Current active research areas such as ultrafast time-domain techniques, the interplay of phase coherence in the matter and the coherence properties of the radiation field, experiments involving phase-controlled pulse sequences, and cooperative effects in nanostructures are emphasized.
