Springer Dispersion, Complex Analysis and Optical Spectroscopy

This academic text from Springer provides an in-depth look at dispersion theory within the fields of linear and nonlinear optics. By using complex analysis, the book derives essential dispersion relations and methods of analysis used in optical spectroscopy. It serves as a foundational resource for understanding the mathematical basis behind various optical processes. Readers will find detailed derivations of dispersion relations that are necessary for modern optical spectroscopy. The text also covers the dispersion theory of nonlinear optical processes, which are fundamental to contemporary research. Additionally, the book introduces modern techniques, such as the maximum entropy model, to assist with wavelength-dependent spectra analysis. This volume is a valuable addition to the Springer Tracts in Modern Physics series for researchers and students in the field.
