Nonlinear Optics Summary

Nonlinear Optics by Robert W. Boyd (Professor of Optics and Physics, The Institute of Optics, University of Rochester, NY, USA)

Nonlinear Optics, Fourth Edition, is a tutorial-based introduction to nonlinear optics that is suitable for graduate-level courses in electrical and electronic engineering, and for electronic and computer engineering departments, physics departments, and as a reference for industry practitioners of nonlinear optics. It will appeal to a wide audience of optics, physics and electrical and electronic engineering students, as well as practitioners in related fields, such as materials science and chemistry.

Nonlinear Optics Reviews

This comprehensive lecture-based book is pleasant and contains careful discussions on a large number of topics dealing with the multifaceted aspects of nonlinear optics. The fourth edition has been updated to capture the latest and most up-to-date research on the nonlinear optics of plasmonic systems. The target audience for Boyd's book is clearly graduate students of engineering and science, and optical engineers and designers. But anyone concerned with the field of optical physics from the perspective of nonlinear optics will profit from reading this book. --The Optical Society: Optics and Photonics News

About Robert W. Boyd (Professor of Optics and Physics, The Institute of Optics, University of Rochester, NY, USA)

Robert W. Boyd was born in Buffalo, New York. He received the B.S. degree in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Ph.D. degree in physics in 1977 from the University of California at Berkeley. His Ph.D. thesis was supervised by Professor Charles H. Townes and involved the use of nonlinear optical techniques in infrared detection for astronomy. Professor Boyd joined the faculty of the Institute of Optics of the University of Rochester in 1977 and since 1987 has held the position of Professor of Optics. Since July 2001 he has also held the position of the M. Parker Givens Professor of Optics. His research interests include studies of nonlinear optical interactions, studies of the nonlinear optical properties of materials, the development of photonic devices including photonic biosensors, and studies of the quantum statistical properties of nonlinear optical interactions. Professor Boyd has written two books, co-edited two anthologies, published over 200 research papers, and has been awarded five patents. He is a fellow of the Optical Society of America and of the American Physical Society and is the past chair of the Division of Laser Science of the American Physical Society.
