Extreme Nonlinear Optics by Martin Wegener
Following 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.-

From the reviews:
"This book is informative, well written, well referenced and relevant to all who study ultra-short pulse phenomenaThe book comes with problems at the end of chapters and has examples throughout and would form the basis of an honours-level course in the field. This is a worthy inclusion to the library for those interested." (John Holdsworth, Australian Physics, Vol. 42 (5), 2005)
"Very intense short-pulse lasers are available today … . Starting with an introduction to the field … later chapters guide the student towards the current state of the art. Exercises accompany each section with detailed solutions given at the end of the book." (Opto & Laser Europe, Issue 122, 2004)
"This is a textbook aiming to teach students basic knowledge about phenomena induced by extremely short pulses of optical (electromagnetic) radiation, whose peak density is extremely large, hence the name of ‘Extreme nonlinear optics’. … The book offers the presentation of the material at two different levels of complexity, basic and advanced. The book also contains a large number of exercises, which lends it an extra pedagogical value." (Boris A. Malomed, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1104 (6), 2007)
