abstract = {Praise for the 1st Edition: "well written and up to date..
The problem sets at the end of each chapter reinforce and
enhance the material presented, and may give students
confidence in handling real-world problems." ?Optics $\&$
Photonics News "rigorous but simple description of a
difficult field keeps the reader's attention throughout..
serves perfectly for an introductory-level course." ?Physics
Today This fully revised introduction enables the reader to
understand and use the basic principles related to many
phenomena in nonlinear optics and provides the mathematical
tools necessary to solve application-relevant problems. The
book is a pedagogical guide aimed at a diverse audience
including engineers, physicists, and chemists who want a
tiered approach to understanding nonlinear optics. The
material is augmented by numerous problems, with many
requiring the reader to perform real-world calculations for
a range of fields, from optical communications to remote
sensing and quantum information. Analytical solutions of
equations are covered in detail and numerical approaches to
solving problems are explained and demonstrated. The second
edition expands the earlier treatment and includes: A new
chapter on quantum nonlinear optics. Thorough treatment of
parametric optical processes covering birefringence,
tolerances and beam optimization to design and build high
conversion efficiency devices. Treatment of numerical
methods to solving sets of complex nonlinear equations. Many
problems in each chapter to challenge reader comprehension.
Extended treatment of four-wave mixing and solitons.
Coverage of ultrafast pulse propagation including walk-off
effects},
