From the reviews: <p> This book is informative, well written, well referenced and relevant to all who study ultra-short pulse phenomena. The book comes with problems at the end of chapters and has examples throughout and would form the basis of an honours-level course in the field. This is a worthy inclusion to the library for those interested. (John Holdsworth, Australian Physics, Vol. 42 (5), 2005) <p> Very intense short-pulse lasers are available today a ] . Starting with an introduction to the field a ] later chapters guide the student towards the current state of the art. Exercises accompany each section with detailed solutions given at the end of the book. (Opto & Laser Europe, Issue 122, 2004) <p> This is a textbook aiming to teach students basic knowledge about phenomena induced by extremely short pulses of optical (electromagnetic) radiation, whose peak density is extremely large, hence the name of a ~Extreme nonlinear opticsa (TM). a ] The book offers the presentation of the material at two different levels of complexity, basic and advanced. The book also contains a large number of exercises, which lends it an extra pedagogical value. (Boris A. Malomed, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1104 (6), 2007)
