The quantum theory of nonlinear optics / Peter D. Drummond, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Mark Hillery, Hunter College, City University of New York.
Drummond, P. D. (Peter D.), 1950-| Call Number | 535/.2 |
| Author | Drummond, P. D. 1950- author. |
| Title | The quantum theory of nonlinear optics / Peter D. Drummond, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Mark Hillery, Hunter College, City University of New York. |
| Physical Description | 1 online resource (viii, 373 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). |
| Notes | Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015). |
| Summary | Playing a prominent role in communications, quantum science and laser physics, quantum nonlinear optics is an increasingly important field. This book presents a self-contained treatment of field quantization and covers topics such as the canonical formalism for fields, phase-space representations and the encompassing problem of quantization of electrodynamics in linear and nonlinear media. Starting with a summary of classical nonlinear optics, it then explains in detail the calculation techniques for quantum nonlinear optical systems and their applications, quantum and classical noise sources in optical fibers and applications of nonlinear optics to quantum information science. Supplemented by end-of-chapter exercises and detailed examples of calculation techniques in different systems, this book is a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers in nonlinear optics, condensed matter physics, quantum information and atomic physics. A solid foundation in quantum mechanics and classical electrodynamics is assumed, but no prior knowledge of nonlinear optics is required. |
