The Supercontinuum Laser Source /

This reissue with updated references makes this valuable monograph available again. Nonlinear optics is one of the most important fields of science and engineering, covering the generation, transmission, and control of the whole spectrum of laser pulses in solids, liquids, gases, and fibers. In turn...
