Advance in Quantum Electronics Vol 2

B.A. Tozer

Published Mar 1, 1975• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

D W Goodwin (ed) London: Academic Press 1974 App xi + 297 price £7.50 This volume contains three review articles by leading experts in their fields, dealing with photon statistics and photon correlation spectroscopy, the spectroscopy of rare earth doped chalcogenides, and picosecond light pulses. E R Pike and his coworkers have been prolific authors of authoritative papers in the field of photon correlation spectroscopy, and the article by Pike and Johnson is a valuable review of the state of the subject (both theoretical and experimental) up to the end of 1972.

Advances in Quantum Electronics Vol 3

Ian J. Spalding

D W Goodwin (ed) London and New York: Academic Press 1975 pp xii + 473 price £17.40, $46 This volume maintains the high standards of production of its two predecessors in the series. The first third of the book, by L C Balling of the University of New Hampshire, is an introductory review of theoretical and experimental work undertaken in the field of optical pumping.

Statistical Properties of Scattered Light

David E. Evans

This volume is the fourth in a series of monographs being published under the general title Quantum Electronics: Principles and Applications, and it is intended, the preface says, to call the attention of researchers engaged in light scattering experiments to the new techniques of photon counting and light beating spectroscopy. Researchers so engaged are already likely to be familiar with the excellent review articles of Jakeman and Pike on the former and Cummins and Swinney on the latter, and they will find little further enlightenment on these subjects here.

Laser Physics: Proceedings of the 2nd New Zealand Summer School

Donald W. Goodwin

D F Walls and J D Harvey (eds) 1980 London: Academic xi + 287 pp price £16.90 This volume comprises 11 excellent chapters based on a summer school which must have succeeded in a thorough updating in laser physics. The aspects selected contain reviews of well established topics in laser physics, such as the statistical properties of light and light beating spectroscopy, as well as very topical subjects such as new excimer and free electron lasers, multiphoton excitation and optical bistability.

E R Pike and Sarben Sarkar (eds) 1986 Bristol: Adam Hilger xii + 587 pp price £29.50 (I0P members' price £23.60) ISBN 0 85274 577 X Quite simply this is the best volume of conference proceedings on quantum optics to appear for several years. It stems from a symposium held in Malvern in December 1985 which was attended by most of the big names in the field.

Advances in Multi-photon Processes and Spectroscopy Vol 1

Brian Culshaw

S H Lin (ed) 1984 Singapore: World Scientific v + 514 pp price £65.50 ISBN 9971 966 17 4 This book consists of six contributed chapters from different authors and as such is yet another example of a specialist introductory text which exhibits the customary advantages and flaws of multiple authorship. My viewpoint on the book is as an interested layman with potential technical applications for multi-photon phenomena.

Frontiers in quantum optics

Sarben Sarkar, Edward R. Pike

The field of quantum optics has progressed rapidly in the last twenty five years with the advent of the laser. Over much of this period the phenomena studied could be described adequately by semiclassical treatments. Quite recently however, there has been a revival of interest in genuinely quantum mechanical effects. The Malvern Symposium of December 1985 brought together world experts for a meeting which concentrated largely on these quantum effects. The presentations in this unique meeting combine review material with the very latest results and so will be of value to students of quantum optics and measurement theory at all levels. The first articles cover the exciting topic of the generation of squeezed states of light in the laboratory, and their possible uses. Experimental success has been long sought and very recently attained. The reader will find presented the state of the art in this field. Next to lasing itself, optical bistability has been the most widely studied phenomenon in quantum optics, largely for its technological promise. However, it also provides a fundamental system to study quuantum effects. Recent theoretical studies of optical bistability with small numbers of atoms are surveyed. In such situations quantum features such as antibunching become significant, and the articles in this volume should be a guide to those venturing into this challenging area. In other articles discussions of fluctuations from other noise sources and instabilities in optical bistabilty are presented in a clear and interesting way. Perhaps the least classical state on quantum optics is that describing a single photon. Recent experiments which produce such states are reviewed. A theoretical review of the photon together with some new material is given which delves deeply into relativistic quantum field theory in order to describe the concept of weakly localised photon states. The material here is very rarely presented in the context of quantum optics. The history of the theory of the quantum fluctuations in a laser is then reviewed. An off-shoot of this theory is the study of quantum chaos in dissipative systems and recent results in this new area are given in a succeeding article. There are further stimulating articles on Rydberg atom systems and quantum electrodynamics. The volume ends with an entertaining and incisive study of quantum measurement problems, such as the Schrodinger cat papadox, using concepts and measuring devices found in quantum optics.other_titles
