While its primary function is didactic, this book?s comprehensive choice of topics and its clear and authoritative synthesis of ideas make it a useful reference for researchers, device engineers, and course instructors who wish to consolidate their knowledge of this field. The book takes the semi-classical approach where light is treated as a wave in accordance with the classical Maxwell equations, while matter is governed by quantum theory. It begins by introducing the postulates and mathematical framework of quantum theory, followed by the formalism of the density matrix which allows the transition from microscopic (quantum) quantities to macroscopic (classical) ones. Consequently, the equations describing the reaction of matter to the electromagnetic field in the form of polarization, magnetization, and current are derived. These equations (together with the Maxwell equations) form the complete system of equations sufficient to model a wide class of problems surrounding linear and nonlinear interactions of electromagnetic fields with matter. The nonlinear character of the governing equations determines parameters of the steady-state mode of the quantum generator and is also demonstrated in harmonic generation via propagation of laser radiation in various media. The touchstone description of magnetic phenomena will be of interest to scientists who deal with applications of magneto-resonance phenomena in biology and medicine. Other advanced topics covered include electric dipole transitions, magnetic dipole transitions, plasma transitions, and the devices that can be based on these and other electro-optical and nonlinear-optical systems. This textbook features numerous exercises, some of which are investigatory and some of which require computational solutions. 606 $aLasers 606 $aPhotonics 606 $aMicrowaves 606 $aOptical engineering 606 $aOptical materials 606 $aElectronic materials 606 $aElectronic circuits 606 $aQuantum physics 606 $aOptics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31030 606 $aMicrowaves, RF and Optical Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T24019 606 $aOptical and Electronic Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z12000 606 $aElectronic Circuits and Devices$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31010 606 $aQuantum Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080 615 0$aLasers. 615 0$aPhotonics. 615 0$aMicrowaves. 615 0$aOptical engineering. 615 0$aOptical materials. 615 0$aElectronic materials. 615 0$aElectronic circuits. 615 0$aQuantum physics. 615 14$aOptics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices. 615 24$aMicrowaves, RF and Optical Engineering. 615 24$aOptical and Electronic Materials. 615 24$aElectronic Circuits and Devices. 615 24$aQuantum Physics. 676 $a535.2 700 $aShtykov$b Vitaliy V$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0843160 702 $aSmolskiy$b Sergey M$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996418174203316 996 $aIntroduction to Quantum Electronics and Nonlinear Optics$92106934 997 $aUNISA
