Intense Resonant Interactions in Quantum Electronics

This advanced course on quantum electronics is concerned with the physical basis and applications of intense resonant interactions of laser light with matter and is presented here using modern mathematical tools.

---

The physical basis and applications of intense resonant interactions of laser light with matter are dealt with in this volume. For senior students and researchers working experimentally or theoretically in the domain of intense resonant interactions, this text aims to provide a broad survey and detailed treatment of the topic using modern mathematical methods which are put into clear physical form. Similarities and differences in the various interaction processes are outlined, and each chapter begins with a qualitative description of the phenomenon under study. All phenomena are considered from one general viewpoint, requiring knowledge only of basic quantum mechanics. This textbook on quantum electronics, atomic and molecular physics, quantum optics, photochemistry and quantum electrodynamics is intended for scientists, lecturers, graduate students and postgraduates.
