Extreme Nonlinear Optics
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 109.99Following the birth of the laser in 1960, the field of "nonlinear optics" rapidly emerged.Today, laser intensities and pulse durations are readily available, for which the concepts and approximations of traditional nonlinear optics no longer apply. In this regime of "extreme nonlinear optics," a large variety of novel and unusual... more...
Quantum Interferometry in Phase Space
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2005; US$ 149.99Deals with quantum-mechanical distribution functions and their applications in quantum optics and neutron interferometry. This book describes the phase-space representation of quantum optical phenomena, such as coherent and squeezed states. It also presents applications to interferometry, such as in beam splitters and fiber networks. more...
Linear Ray and Wave Optics in Phase Space
Elsevier Science 2005; US$ 225.00Ray, wave and quantum concepts are central to diverse and seemingly incompatible models of light. Each model particularizes a specific ''manifestation'' of light, and then corresponds to adequate physical assumptions and formal approximations, whose domains of applicability are well-established. Accordingly each model comprises its own set of geometric... more...
Frequency Standards and Metrology
World Scientific Publishing Company 2009; US$ 205.00The Symposium on Frequency Standards and Metrology is an event held approximately every seven years, and is regarded as the premier conference in the field of advanced clocks and oscillators together with their applications in science and metrology. This series began with the first meeting at Université Laval, Quebec Canada in 1971, and the last... more...
