This book is devoted primarily to the various kinds of resonant nonlinear in teractions of light with two-level (or, in many cases, multilevel) systems. The interactions can involve one-photon as well as multiphoton processes in which some combinations of frequencies of participating photons are close to tran sitions of atoms or molecules (e.g., we consider stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) as a resonant interaction). This approach involves a broad spectrum of problems. Discussion of some of the basic phenomena as well as the pertinent theory could be found, for instance, in such well-known books as the ones due to N. Bloembergen; S.A. Akhmanov and R.V. Khokhlov; L. Allen and J.H. Eberly, and to V.M. Fain and Ya.1. Khanin. The book "Quantum Electronics" by A. Yariv could serve as an introductory guide to the subject. Thus, some of the basic material in the present book will already be well known to the reader who is an expert in the field. There are, for instance, general density matrix equations; two-level model and basic effects associated with this model, such as saturation of one-photon absorption and Raby oscillations; some basic multiphoton processes such as two-photon absorption, SRS, etc.

Since the invention of the laser in 1960 there has been an enormous increase in the number of applications of this newly available light and its spectacular properties, and there is no end to this development in sight. In many fields of science, technology and medicine laser photons are the driving force of progress. In the near future we will probably experience a further rapid de velopment in this field as a result of the widespread industrial production of semiconductor diode lasers and new nonlinear optical materials. Light from the new lasers may become even cheaper than that from light bulbs. Thus, laser optic devices will influence all sectors of private and public life. The high power, high brightness, narrow bandwidth, good coherence, spe cial polarization and/or short pulses of laser light beams enable new applica tions. Many of these processes will be based on nonlinear optical interactions of the laser light with suitable optical material. In these interactions the ma terial is modified by the incident light. The light is then in turn modified by the modified matter. Finally, the nonlinear modification of light as a function of other light becomes possible. Light is modified by light. To use laser light in this sense in science, technology and medicine, know ledge from different fields of physics, chemistry and engineering is necessary.
