illustrative examples at the end of each chapter should help students to grasp the fundamentals and apply them to other interesting problems in nonlinear optics. the book is well organized, and it is a welcome addition to the literature on nonlinear optics.

“…illustrative examples at the end of each chapter should help students to grasp the fundamentals and apply them to other interesting problems in nonlinear optics. … the book is well organized, and it is a welcome addition to the literature on nonlinear optics.” — Optics and Photonics News, July/August 2005 “… this book provides the underlying essential physics of nonlinear optics. … The introduction and summary of each chapter let readers easily grasp the key points and fundamental physics that the chapter covers. The exercise problems after each chapter further re-enforce readers on how to use the knowledge learned to solve problems. … the book was written mainly for graduate students in electrical engineering and physics, engineers and scientists in industry who work in photorefractive materials, LCD, imaging processing, and other optical-related fields and would like to learn more about physical principles of nonlinear optics, should find it to be a useful reference book.” — Xin Zhou, in IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, Vol. 22, No. 2, March/April 2006
