First, many organic crystals and polymeric solids prove not only to have usefully large optical nonlinearities but also to be surprisingly robust and thermally stable. Consequently the fabrication of organic materials for laser frequency conversion has become very much a growth area. At interfaces and in partially ordered systems, harmonic generation is now of considerable scientific interest through the detailed structural information it affords. And in molecular gases and liquids, processes of optical harmonic conversion present a powerful tool for the study of both static and dynamic effects of molecular orientation.; Where the detailed nonlinear optical response of molecules is required, the application of molecular quantum electrodynamics (QED) brings both rigour and conceptual facility. Using this approach the authors address topics of direct experimental concern in a general formulation of theory for optical harmonics, with a particular focus on quantum optical and molecular aspects. A detailed basis is provided for the applications, enabling the characteristic features of optical nonlinearity to be examined in general terms. A great many of the optical phenomena subsequently addressed find wide application in nonlinear optics and chemical physics. Specifically, the book deals with coherent harmonic generation, both within and at interfaces between different media. It addresses elastic second harmonic (Hyper-Rayleigh) light scattering as well as the inelastic case normally referred to as Hyper-Raman scattering. Full and detailed tables and results are provided for the analysis of experimental observations. 606 $aHarmonics (Electric waves) 606 $aQuantum electrodynamics 606 $aNonlinear optics 606 $aMolecular structure 606 $aLight & Optics$2HILCC 606 $aElectricity & Magnetism$2HILCC 606 $aPhysics$2HILCC 606 $aPhysical Sciences & Mathematics$2HILCC 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHarmonics (Electric waves) 615 0$aQuantum electrodynamics 615 0$aNonlinear optics 615 0$aMolecular structure 615 7$aLight & Optics 615 7$aElectricity & Magnetism 615 7$aPhysics 615 7$aPhysical Sciences & Mathematics 676 $a530.1433 700 $aAndrews$b David L$067525 702 $aAllcock$b Philip 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910146232403321 996 $aOptical harmonics in molecular systems$92105837 997 $aUNINA
