Resonant Nonlinear Interactions of Light with Matter

This book is devoted primarily to the various kinds of resonant nonlinear in­ teractions of light with two-level (or, in many cases, multilevel) systems. The interactions can involve one-photon as well as multiphoton processes in which some combinations of frequencies of participating photons are close to tran­ sitions of atoms or molecules (e.g., we consider stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) as a...
