The Science of Light will be available for purchase worldwide in digital formats starting on Thursday, March 24, 2022, at odilejacob. com and on all retail platforms. Serge Haroche is professor emeritus at the Collège de France, a member of the Académie des Sciences, a foreign member of the U. S. National Academy of Sciences, and winner of the 2012 Nobel Prize in Physics for discovering methods of manipulating and measuring individual quantum systems. He has taught at Paris VI University, the École Polytechnique, the École Normale Supérieure, Harvard University, and Yale University. Serge HarocheNobel Prize in PhysicsThe Science of LightFrom Galileo’s Telescope to Quantum Physics Light has fascinated mankind since the dawn of time. Elucidating its properties over the centuries has been an adventure intimately linked with the birth and development of modern science; it has led, after many surprising twists, to the theories of relativity and quantum physics which have profoundly changed our view of the world at the microscopic and cosmic scales alike. Placing his own career in a rich lineage of scientific discovery, Nobel Prize–winning physicist Serge Haroche offers a literally enlightening account of what we know about light today, how we learned it, and how that knowledge has led to countless inventions that have revolutionized daily life. From Galileo and Newton to Einstein and Feynman, from early measurements of the speed of light to cutting-edge work on quantum entanglement, Haroche takes a detailed and personal look at light’s role in how we see and understand the universe. The Science of Light is at once a colorful history of scientific inquiry and a passionate defense of “blue sky research”—investigations conducted not in pursuit of a particular goal, but out of curiosity and faith that today’s abstract discoveries may well power tomorrow’s most incredible possibilities. A uniquely captivating book about the thrill of discovery.

In these the nonlinearity mainly arises from second-order or third-order nonlinear optical processes. A restriction is that second-order processes only occur in media that do not possess a centre of symmetry. Optical fibres, on the other hand, being made of silica glass, created by fusing SiO molecules, are made of material with a centre of z symmetry, so the bulk of all processes are governed by third-order nonlinearity. Indeed, optical fibre nonlinearities have been extensively studied for the last thirty years and can be truly hailed as a success story of nonlinear optics. In fact, the fabrication ofsuch fibres, and the exploitation oftheir nonlinearity, is in an advanced stage - not least being their capacity to sustain envelope solitons. What then ofsecond-order nonlinearity? This is also well-known for its connection to second-harmonic generation. It is an immediate concern, however, to understand how waves can mix and conserve both energy and momentum ofthe photons involved. The problem is that the wave vectors cannot be made to match without a great deal of effort, or at least some clever arrangement has to be made - a special geometry, or crystal arrangement. The whole business is called phase- matching and an inspection ofthe state-of-the-art today, reveals the subject to be in an advanced state.","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Couverture souple","offer_id":46180862787761,"sku":"9780792353164","price":71.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Couverture rigide","offer_id":46180862820529,"sku":"9780792353157","price":128.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_768e032e-21ca-48f1-aa36-1f412905742e.jpg?v=1762771134"},{"product_id":"advances-in-atomic-molecular-and-optical-physics-1","title":"Advances in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis volume continues the tradition of the Advances series.

As the reality of all-optical systems comes into focus, it is more important than ever to stay current with the latest advances in the optics and components that enable photonics technology. Comprising chapters drawn from the author's highly anticipated book Photonics: Principles and Practices, Physical Optics: Principles and Practices offers a detailed and focused treatment for anyone in need of authoritative information on this critical area underlying photonics. Using a consistent approach, the author leads you step-by-step through each topic. Each skillfully crafted chapter first explores the theoretical concepts of each topic, and then demonstrates how these principles apply to real-world applications by guiding you through experimental cases illuminated with numerous illustrations. The book works systematically through the principles of waves, diffraction, interference, diffraction gratings, interferometers, spectrometers, and several aspects of laser technology to build a thorough understanding of how to study and manipulate the behavior of light for various applications. In addition, it includes a four-page insert containing several full-color illustrations as well as a chapter on laboratory safety. Containing several topics presented for the first time in book form, Physical Optics: Principles and Practices is simply the most modern, detailed, and hands-on text in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Livre numérique Kobo","offer_id":46201538183378,"sku":"0d345d64-6475-347d-8930-fc5ffef9b4b5","price":261.08,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/image_fadb29ed-5692-41e0-b7b3-37f1401345fc.jpg?v=1763191300"},{"product_id":"inorganic-glasses-for-photonics","title":"Inorganic Glasses for Photonics: Fundamentals, Engineering, and Applications","description":"\u003cp\u003eAdvanced textbook on inorganic glasses suitable for both undergraduates and researchers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eEngaging style to facilitate understanding\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSuitable for senior undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers entering material science, engineering, physics, chemistry, optics and photonics fields\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses new techniques in optics and photonics including updates on diagnostic techniques\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eComprehensive and logically structured\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Couverture rigide","offer_id":46200476958897,"sku":"9780470741702","price":195.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Livre numérique Kobo","offer_id":46200476991665,"sku":"c63a373d-5f2e-3e6b-ba11-6ea06e656f94","price":156.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_2711e6a2-2577-42f8-97f5-730e302da155.jpg?v=1763679620"},{"product_id":"introduction-to-nonlinear-optics","title":"Introduction to Nonlinear Optics","description":"Since the early days of nonlinear optics in the 1960s, the field has expanded dramatically, and is now a vast and vibrant field with countless technological applications.

After basic ideas have been outlined, the book offers a thorough analysis of second harmonic generation and related second-order processes, before moving on to third-order effects, the nonlinear optics of short optical pulses and coherent effects such as electromagnetically-induced transparency. A simplified treatment of high harmonic generation is presented at the end. More advanced topics, such as the linear and nonlinear optics of crystals, the tensor nature of the nonlinear coefficients and their quantum mechanical representation, are confined to specialist chapters so that readers can focus on basic principles before tackling these more difficult aspects of the subject.","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Couverture souple","offer_id":46200255676593,"sku":"9781107424487","price":76.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Couverture rigide","offer_id":46200255709361,"sku":"9780521877015","price":121.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_9f4f5de1-21e1-4e44-bb04-6fdfa5d4832e.jpg?v=1763571105"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/fr\/collections\/optique-et-lumiere.oembed","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
