This is the second volume of a two–volume set. The first volume of this set has already been published (J. Weiner, P.–T. Ho: Light–Matter Interaction – Fundamentals and Applications). The present volume is self–contained and can stand alone or be used in conjunction with the previous volume. Useful as a course text or a desk reference, this book is accessible to advanced undergraduates, graduate students, or researchers who have been trained in one of the conventional curricula of physics, chemistry, or engineering but who need to acquire familiarity with adjacent areas in order to pursue their research goals.

Chi H. Lee received his B.S. degree in electrical engineering from the National Taiwan University in 1959, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in applied physics from Harvard University in 1962 and 1968, respectively. Since 1968 he has been with the University of Maryland, where he is now a Professor Emeritus of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. His areas of research include ultrafast optoelectronics, lasers, electro–optic devices and microwave photonics. Professor Lee is a Fellow of the IEEE, the Optical Society of America and the Photonic Society of Chinese Americans. He served as the Chairman of the IEEE MTT–technical committee for lightwave technology and the Microwave Photonics committee of the IEEE LEOS.
