Optical and Quantum Electronics

...wide spectrum of breathtaking achievements in the field of quantum electronics and nonliniear optics.

Contemporary Physics

Colleagues and friends of Akhmanov (1929-1991), a pioneer in quantum electronics and non-linear optics, present 16 papers on some of his favorite topics. Among them are the channelling of atoms in a standing laser light wave, tracking polariton pulses in crystals, and non-linear optical techniques for studying chiral molecules of biological importance.
