Abstract
A brief review is given of the papers presented to the Scientific Council of the USSR Academy of Sciences on Coherent and Nonlinear Optics, which met on November 1-3 in Kishinev.The subjects discussed at the meeting included some aspects of the resonant interactions of laser radiation with matter, such as resonant excitation of semiconductors, phase transitions in excited systems, many-photon transitions under the influence of light, and excitation of biological systems.
