$ 208
Book Description:
This book presents recent and important developments in the field of terahertz radiation, with a particular focus on pulsed terahertz radiation. Situated in the
gap between electronics and optics, the terahertz frequency range of the electro-magnetic spectrum has long been neglected by scientists and engineers
due to a lack of efficient and affordable terahertz sources and detectors. The advent of femtosecond lasers in the 1980s and photoconductive switches in
1984 have made the terahertz gap accessible, while at the same time advances in electronics and optics have made it narrower. Research activities in
terahertz frequencies have intensified dramatically since that time, funding has increased by a factor of 100 in the last decade. The reviews by leading
experts are of interest to researchers and engineers as well as advanced students.

Extreme Nonlinear Optics: An Introduction (Advanced Texts in Physics)
By Martin Wegener
* Publisher: Springer
* Number Of Pages: 223
* Publication Date: 2004-10-15
* ISBN / ASIN: 354022291X
Book Description:
Following the birth of the laser in 1960, the field of "nonlinear optics" rapidly emerged.
Today, laser intensities and pulse durations are readily available, for which the concepts and approximations of traditional nonlinear optics no longer apply.
In this regime of "extreme nonlinear optics," a large variety of novel and unusual effects arise, for example frequency doubling in inversion symmetric
materials or high-harmonic generation in gases, which can lead to attosecond electromagnetic pulses or pulse trains. Other examples of "extreme nonlinear
optics" cover diverse areas such as solid-state physics, atomic physics, relativistic free electrons in a vacuum and even the vacuum itself.
This book starts with an introduction to the field based primarily on extensions of two famous textbook examples, namely the Lorentz oscillator model and the
Drude model. Here the level of sophistication should be accessible to any undergraduate physics student. Many graphical illustrations and examples are
given. The following chapters gradually guide the student towards the current "state of the art" and provide a comprehensive overview of the field. Every
chapter is accompanied by exercises to deepen the reader's understanding of important topics, with detailed solutions at the end of the book.

Optical Spectroscopy: Methods and Instrumentations
By Nikolai V. Tkachenko
* Publisher: Elsevier Science
* Number Of Pages: 322
* Publication Date: 2006-06-06
* ISBN / ASIN: 0444521267
$156.75
Book Description:
Optical Spectroscopy bridges a gap by providing a background on optics while focusing on spectroscopic methodologies, tools and instrumentations. The
book introduces the most widely used steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic techniques, makes comparisions between them, and provides the
methodology for estimating the most important characteristics of the techniques such as sensitivity and time resolution.
Recent developments in lasers, optics and electronics has had a significant impact on modern optical spectroscopic methods and instrumentations.
Combining the newest lasers, advanced detectors and other high technology components researchers are able to assemble a spectroscopic instrument with
characteristics that were hardly achievable a decade ago. This book will help readers to sourse spectroscopy tools to solve their problems by providing
information on the most widely used methods while introducing readers to the principles of quantitative analysis of the application range for each
methodology. In addition, background information is provided on optics, optical measurements and laser physics, which is of crucial importance for
spectroscopic applications ~
