Although chemists, biochemists, biologists, and material scientists are often interested in using nonlinear optical techniques for characterizing their samples,

This book assembles both theory and application in this field, to interest experimentalists and theoreticians alike. Part 1 is concerned with the theory and com

Presents a clear systematic molecular-based description of nonlinear optical polarization analysis of chemical and biological assemblies.

Mathematical methods play a significant role in the rapidly growing field of nonlinear optical materials. This volume discusses a number of successful or promis

Examining classic theories, experimental methods, and practical formulas for exploration of the core topics in nonlinear optics, the second edition of this accl
