Preface to the First Edition

The purpose of this text is to introduce students and professionals to the fundamentals of nonlinear optics. The text is designed around a one-semester course. It is written at a level accessible to graduate students and senior undergraduates who have taken a course in electro-magnetism including Maxwell’s equations and electromagnetic waves. Outside of the student population, the text is also intended for scientists and engineers who are new to nonlinear optics and seek an introductory resource. The topics covered in the text encompass a broad spectrum of nonlinear phenomena from second-harmonic generation to soliton formation. The topics covered prepare students for further study in the subject matter as well as ...
