Advances in Multi-Photon Processes and Spectroscopy - Vol. 18

ADVANCES IN MULTI-PHOTON PROCESSES AND SPECTROSCOPY
(Volume 18)

edited by S H Lin (National Chiao-Tung University, Taiwan & Arizona State University, USA), A A Villaeys (Institute de Physique et Chimie des Matèriaux de Strasbourg, France) & Y Fujimura (Tohoku University, Japan)

This book presents the latest developments and issues in both experimental and theoretical studies of multi-photon processes and the spectroscopy of atoms, ions and molecules in physics, chemistry, biology and material science. It contains review papers suitable for both active researchers and non-experts who wish to enter the field.

Special attention is paid to the recent progress of non-linear photon–matter interactions in atoms, molecules and interfaces: XUV/soft X-ray, high-order harmonic generation in attosecond regime, high-order harmonic generation, sum frequency generation, four-wave mixing spectroscopy and molecular orientation with combined electrostatic and intense, non-resonant laser fields.


Contents:

  • Nonlinear Optics for Characterizing XUV/Soft X-Ray High-Order Harmonic Fields in Attosecond Regime (Y Nabekawa & K Midorikawa)
  • Signatures of Molecular Structure and Dynamics in High-Order Harmonic Generation (M lain & C C Chirilǎ)
  • Molecular Manipulation Techniques and Their Applications (H Sakai)
  • Sum Frequency Generation: An Introduction with Recent Developments and Current Issues (M J Shultz)
  • Propagation and Intramolecular Coupling Effects in Four-Wave Mixing Spectroscopy (J L Paz)
  • Control of Molecular Chirality by Lasers (K Hoki & Y Fujimura).


Readership: Physicists, chemists, material scientists, and graduate students interested in the study of multi-photon processes and non-linear photon–matter interactions.
