This text deals with the basic physical properties related to the nonlinear interaction of light and matter. Nonlinear effects in atomic (molecular) systems and condensed matter are described, and classical phenomena as well as phenomena recquiring a field-quantized desription are covered. Leading authorities in nonlinear optics have reviewed current interest in the research literature and described general principles of importance.
