Description
(Text)
In this book fundamental issues of linear and nonlinear interaction of the electromagnetic field with different media are considered. From systematical point of view, the material is based on the semi-classical examination of this interaction mechanism. The necessary minimum of information from the modern quantum theory is presented. Electrical and magnetic properties of a substance are considered. Elements of the oscillation theory of quantum generators are discussed. The key types of quantum generators and amplifiers are described. Fundamentals of nonlinear optics are given. Problems for independent solution and for fixing the received knowledge are offered at the ends of each chapter. The information necessary for problems solution and for mastering of the studied material of this book is included in Appendices. This book is oriented on the students of classical and technical universities and for scientific researchers wishing to renew the knowledge in quantum radio physics and nonlinear optics
