Customer Review: I'm absolutly sure that everyone can find something useful in this book, no matter who you are - a novice in this subject or well experienced researcher in optics. This book is also useful as a reference book on nonlinear effects. I very often find this book in hand.
Customer Review: Although not as good as other of the author's books on nonlinear phenomena, it is still a good reference on some of the issues involved in nonlinear optics. Not for someone looking for an introduction on nonlinear optics but appropiate for a more advanced reader.
