Books in the Advances in Nonlinear Optics series

This volume provides researchers in nonlinear optic technologies with procedures and software for the investigation of the fundamental phenomena in nonlinear optical waveguide structures.

Electromagnetic resonances are associated with surface plasmas or guided waves, excited in nonlinear optical resonators such as prisms or grating couplers. This volume is devoted to the numerous phenomena arising from the interplay between electromagnetic resonances and nonlinear optical interactions.

This work deals with the science and technology related to the application of thin organic films to the nonlinear optical processing of information and data storage.

Describes the understanding of the physical processes that combine to produce a photorefractive effect in key, representative composite materials. This book summarizes the model of photorefraction as applied to polymers with high diffraction efficiency. It explores applications that supercede the capabilities of photorefractive crystals.

This text provides a description of preparation and characterization methods of organic materials for applications in nonlinear and electro-optics. It discusses the fundamental optimization and practical limitations of a number of figures of merit for various optical parameters.
