Introduction
Abstract
A brief historical survey and background knowledge in nonlinear optics related to the subject of the book are presented. Attention is given to infrared generation by optical mixing, infrared parametric oscillators, infrared generation by stimulated Raman and Polariton scattering, optically pumped stimulated emission, and the generation of coherent tunable infrared radiation with the aid of a method in which relativistic electrons undergo cyclotron motion in a magnetic field.
