Polarization of Light : : In Classical, Quantum, and Nonlinear Optics / / Maria Chekhova, Peter Banzer.
This book starts with the description of polarization in classical optics, including also a chapter on crystal optics, which is necessary to understand the use of nonlinear crystals. In addition, spatially non-uniform polarization states are introduced and described. Further, the role of polarizatio...
