Opis

This volume presents comprehensive coverage of the theory and experiment of the quantum optic phenomenon of super-radiance. It not only treats the theory of super-radiance but also the experimental results.

Recenzje

"The book deserves to receive attention by advanced students and practicing physicists and engineers in this field … The authors have unquestionably provided a valuable addition to the optical literature, which will be widely welcomed for its range, depth, and style of coverage."
