A quantum treatment of a coherently driven dispersive cavity is given based on a cubic
nonlinearity in the polarisability of the internal medium. This system displays bistability and …

We derive a full quantum optical model of interactions between a dipole and a metal
nanoparticle. The electromagnetic field of the nanoparticle is quantized from the time …

In this, the first of two papers on the subject, we present an analysis of a non-linear optical
system with a mode coupled to its second harmonic, exhibiting a rich variety of non …

Nonlinear Optical Parametric Processes in Liquids and Gases focuses on the parametric
processes that occur in liquids and gases. This book examines the mathematical results that …

Optical turbulence and periodic oscillations are easily seen with a hybrid optically bistable
device with a delay in the feedback. The behavior of these instabilities is in good agreement …

Nonlinear optics has been a rapidly growing field in recent decades. It is based on the study
of effects and phenomena related to the interaction of intense coherent light radiation with …

We describe how chaotic dynamics may appear in some fundamental as well as practical
problems of quantum optics. This essay is intended for researchers in the general areas of …

Understanding interactions between light and matter is central to many fields, providing
invaluable insights into the nature of matter. In its own right, a greater understanding of light …

This book discusses quantum optics and investigates the quantum properties of interactions
between atoms and laser fields. It is divided into three parts. Part I introduces the elementary …

A general theory of optical bistability for a homogeneously broadened two-level system in a
Fabry-Perot interferometer is presented. Both absorptive and dispersive mechanisms are …
