Laser Stimulated Scattering and Multiphoton Excitation is the first book to comprehensively cover quantum electrodynamic theory of stimulated scattering and multiphoton excitation processes, as well as various stimulated scattering effects. These include stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) and stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), as well as more recent advances in the field such as stimulated Kerr scattering (SKS), stimulated Rayleigh-Bragg scattering (SRBS) and stimulated Mie scattering (SMS). The book goes on to discuss multiphoton excitation-based nonlinear optical effects, photoelectric effects, atomic and molecular ionization effects, and molecular dissociation effects.

Each chapter includes a description of the key concepts and mechanisms alongside the necessary theoretical formulations, as well as engaging with the latest experimental research achievements and the scientific and technological applications.

Laser Stimulated Scattering and Multiphoton Excitation is essential reading for academics, research scientists, and students working or interested in the areas of nonlinear optics, nonlinear photonics, laser spectroscopy, physical optics, physical chemistry, and optoelectronic engineering.
