Coherent Optics Fundamentals and Applications

Coherent Optics presents, in a concise and lively overview, easy access to the fundamentals and modern aspects of this field. From text based on coherence and its measurement the reader gains access to the fields of interferometry, holography and Fourier optics while becoming acquainted with coherent optical techniques of measurement. From the multitude of nonlinear optical phenomena the following topics are particularly discussed: the laser with its nonlinear dynamics, three-wave interaction, the optical parametric amplifier, and nonlinear fiber optics including solutions for signal transmission.Lauterborn, W. is the author of 'Coherent Optics Fundamentals and Applications' with ISBN 9780387583723 and ISBN 0387583726.
