Description:

This book summarizes some of the scientific works that are carried out in Mexico in modern optics. Eleven chapters are included describing the state-of-the-art research on a variety of subjects, from non-linear and quantum optics to optical fibres and lasers. The intention is also to show the international community the quality of the work done by Centro de Investigaciones en Optica (CIO) researchers and its ex-alumni in its XXV anniversary. The efforts of all the authors, that are appreciated very much, should serve as highly regarded reference to their respective community.

Readership: Researchers and students in the areas of optics
