In view of the rapid growth in both experimental and theoretical studies of multiphoton processes and multiphoton spectroscopy of atoms, ions, and molecules in chemistry, physics, biology and material sciences, this series contains review papers exploring the growth. They are readable not only by active researchers in these areas but also by those who are not experts in the field but intend to enter the field.

• Multiphoton Processes in Frequency-Modulated System: Frequency Modulation Model
• Optical Nutation
• Photon Echo — Effect of Spatial Fluctuation
• Free Induction Decay
• Emission Spectrum under Strong Pumping
• Absorption Spectrum under Strong Pumping
• Raman Scattering and Luminescence in Three-Level System (E Hanamura)
• Photodesorption by Resonant Infrared Laser-Adsorbate Coupling — A Review of the Theoretical Approaches: Basic Photodesorption Model Theory
• Resonant Heating
• Lateral Vibrational Energy Transfer
• Coherent Two-Quanta Processes
• Theory of the Photodesorption Line Shape
• Discussion and Outlook (P Piercy, Z Gortel & H Kreuzer)
