Contents:
Quantum Theory of Optical Coherence; Contents; Foreword; 1 The Quantum Theory of Optical Coherence; 2 Optical Coherence and Photon Statistics; 3 Correlation Functions for Coherent Fields; 4 Density Operators for Coherent Fields; 5 Classical Behavior of Systems of Quantum Oscillators; 6 Quantum Theory of Parametric Amplification I; 7 Quantum Theory of Parametric Amplification II; 8 Photon Statistics; 9 Ordered Expansions in Boson Amplitude Operators; 10 Density Operators and Quasiprobability Distributions; 11 Coherence and Quantum Detection; 12 Quantum Theory of Coherence.
Summary: A summary of the pioneering work of Glauber in the field of optical coherence phenomena and photon statistics, this book describes the fundamental ideas of modern quantum optics and photonics in a tutorial style. It is thus not only intended as a reference for researchers in the field, but also to give graduate students an insight into the basic theories of the field. Written by the Nobel Laureate himself, the concepts described in this book have formed the basis for three further Nobel Prizes in Physics within the last decade.
