By R. W. Munn

Subjects:

Description: This book covers the general features of nonlinear optical effects and describes the materials which exhibit these effects, their special characteristics, and how they are incorporated into commercially useful devices - especially in the fields of telecommunications and optical computing. Chapters are presented on each important class of material, and emphasis is on how each class is particularly suitable for nonlinear optical applications.
