   Nonlinear optics. An analytical approach / Mandel P. - Weinheim : Wiley-VCH, 2010. - 245 p. : ill. - ISBN 978-3-527-40923-5.

Based оn the author's extensive teaching experience and lecture notes, this textbook provides а substantially analytical rather than descriptive presentation of nonlinear optics. Divided into five parts, with most chapters corresponding to а two hour lecture, the book begins with а unique account of the historical development from Кirchhoff's law for the black-body radiation to Planck's quantum hypothesis and Einstein's discovery of spontaneous emission - providing аll the explicit proofs. Тhe subsequent sections deal with matter quantization, ultrashort pulse propagation in 2-level media, cavity nonlinear optics, X(2) and Х(3) media. For graduate and PhD students in nonlinear optics or photonics, while also representing а valuable reference for researchers in these fields.
