“Multi-Wave Mixing Processes – From Ultrafast Polarization Beats to Electromagnetically Induced Transparency” discusses the interactions of efficient multi-wave mixing (MWM) processes enhanced by atomic coherence in multilevel atomic systems. It covers topics in five major areas: attosecond and femtosecond polarization beats of four-wave mixing (FWM) processes; heterodyne detection of FWM, six-wave mixing (SWM) and eight-wave mixing (EWM) processes; Raman and Rayleigh enhanced polarization beats; coexistence and interactions of MWM processes via electromagnetically induced transparency(EIT); multi-dressing MWM processes.

The book is intended for researchers, advanced undergraduate and graduate students in Nonlinear Optics.
