Preface to the Third Edition It has been a great pleasure for me to have prepared the latest edition of my book on nonlinear optics. My intrigue in the subject matter of this book is as strong as it was when the first edition was published in 1992. The principal changes present in the third edition are as follows: (1) The book has been entirely rewritten using the SI system of units. I personally prefer the elegance of the gaussian system of units, which was used in the first two editions, but I realize that most readers would prefer the SI system, and the change was made for this reason. (2) In addition, a large number of minor changes have been made throughout the text to clarify the intended meaning and to make the arguments easier to follow. I am indebted to the countless comments received from students and colleagues both in Rochester and from around the world that have allowed me to improve the writing in this man- ner. (3) Moreover, several sections that treat entirely new material have been added. Applications of harmonic generation, including applications within the fields of microscopy and biophotonics, are treated in Subsection 2.7.1. Elec- tromagnetically induced transparency is treated in Section 3.8. Some brief but crucial comments regarding limitations to the maximum size of the intensity- induced refractive-index change are made in Section 4.7. The use of nonlinear optical methods for inducing unusual values of the group velocity of light are discussed briefly in Section 3.8 and in Subsection 6.6.2. Spectroscopy based on coherent anti–Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) is discussed in Section 10.5. In addition, the appendix has been expanded to include brief descrip- tions of both the SI and gaussian systems of units and procedures for conver- sion between them. xiii
xiv Preface to the Third Edition The book in its present form contains far too much material to be covered within a conventional one-semester course. For this reason, I am often asked for advice on how to structure a course based on the content of my textbook. Some of my thoughts along these lines are as follows: (1) I have endeavored as much as possible to make each part of the book self-contained. Thus, the sophisticated reader can read the book in any desired order and can read only sections of personal interest. (2) Nonetheless, when using the book as a course text, I suggest starting with Chapters 1 and 2, which present the basic formal- ism of the subject material. At that point, topics of interest can be taught in nearly any order. (3) Special mention should be made regarding Chapters 3 and 6, which deal with quantum mechanical treatments of nonlinear optical phenomena. These chapters are among the most challenging of any within the book. These chapters can be skipped entirely if one is comfortable with estab- lishing only a phenomenological description of nonlinear optical phenomena. Alternatively, these chapters can form the basis of a formal treatment of how the laws of quantum mechanics can be applied to provide detailed descrip- tions of a variety of optical phenomena. (4) From a different perspective, I am sometimes asked for my advice on extracting the essential material from the book—that is, in determining which are topics that everyone should know. This question often arises in the context of determining what material stu- dents should study when preparing for qualifying exams. My best response to questions of this sort is that the essential material is as follows: Chapter 1 in its entirety; Sections 2.1–2.3, 2.4, and 2.10 of Chapter 2; Subsection 3.5.1 of Chapter 3; Sections 4.1, 4.6, and 4.7 of Chapter 4; Chapter 7 in its entirety; Section 8.1 of Chapter 8; and Section 9.1 of Chapter 9. (5) Finally, I often tell my classroom students that my course is in some ways as much a course on optical physics as it is a course on nonlinear optics. I simply use the concept of nonlinear optics as a unifying theme for presenting conceptual issues and practical applications of optical physics. Recognizing that this is part of my perspective in writing, this book could be useful to its readers. I want to express my thanks once again to the many students and colleagues who have given me useful advice and comments regarding this book over the past fifteen years. I am especially indebted to my own graduate students for the assistance and encouragement they have given to me. Robert Boyd Rochester, New York October, 2007
