Goodman Book Writing Award for his work on Nonlinear Optics, 2nd edition.Nonlinear optics is essentially the study of the interaction of strong laser light with matter. It lies at the basis of the field of photonics, the use of light fields to control other light fields and to perform logical operations. Some of the topics of this book include the fundamentals and applications of optical systems based on the nonl 606 $aNonlinear optics 615 0$aNonlinear optics. 676 $a535/.2 700 $aBoyd$b Robert W.$f1948-$045219 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784642603321 996 $aNonlinear optics$9189432 997 $aUNINA
