图书介绍:光脉冲宽度压缩技术的飞速发展导致超强超短光脉冲的出现。这种极高强度的超短脉冲在某些物质中传播时,出现了大量新的非同寻常的效应。例如:具有反演中心的物质中产生了相当强的二次谐波;气体中出现高转换效率的非常高阶的谐波,可用来获得阿秒电磁脉冲或脉冲串。这些都与传统非线性光学理论的推断不一致,人们将其归到极端非线性光学的范畴。实际上,极端非线性光学的内容与诸多领域有关,其中包括固态物理,原子物理,真空里的相对论自由电子,甚至真空本身。本书写法深入浅出。书中前面的章节从普通物理教课书中的两个著名模型(即洛伦兹振子模型和Drude模型)出发,将其推广作为本书基础。书中给出许多图示和范例。叙述的水平可以为每一位大学本科物理系学生接受。以后的章节逐步引入近代最新的进展,并提供对这一领域的透彻的概述。每一章都提供一些练习题,用来加深读者对重要课题的理解。书末给出了习题的详细解答.
