Intro Physics Is There a Solution Manual Available for Nonlinear Optics by Robert W Boyd?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the study of nonlinear optics, specifically highlighting Robert W. Boyd's textbook "Nonlinear Optics" as a key resource. It is noted that while Boyd's book is current, it occasionally references other texts for derivations, suggesting that readers may benefit from consulting those additional resources for a more thorough understanding. Another recommended book is "The Principles of Nonlinear Optics" by Shen, although it is acknowledged to be older. The availability of a solutions manual for Boyd's textbook remains uncertain, with no definitive information provided.

I am learning nonlinear optics and recently got my hand on Nonlinear Optics by Robert W Boyd.
Any other suggestions?
Also is there a solution manual available for the above textbook?

Currently, as far as I know the most up-to-date book on nonlinear optics is this one by Boyd. However, sometimes he skipped some derivation by simply stating that the corresponding derivation can be found in another book mentioned along. Therefore, if you want to be rigorous, you should also check those books. Another comprehensive nonlinear optics book may be from Shen, "The Principles of Nonlinear Optics ". But I think this book is rather old.
 
Thank you. Is there any solutions manual available?
 
Sorry, no idea about that.
 

Thread 'Book recommendation after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics'

TL;DR Summary: Book after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics I am doing a comprehensive reading of sakurai and I have solved every problem from chapters I finished on my own, I will finish the book within 2 weeks and I want to delve into qft and other particle physics related topics, not from summaries but comprehensive books, I will start a graduate program related to cern in 3 months, I alreadily knew some qft but now I want to do it, hence do a good book with good problems in it first...

Thread 'Blennow to follow up Altland?'

TLDR: is Blennow "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" a good follow-up to Altland "Mathematics for physicists"? Hello everybody, returning to physics after 30-something years, I felt the need to brush up my maths first. It took me 6 months and I'm currently more than half way through the Altland "Mathematics for physicists" book, covering the math for undergraduate studies at the right level of sophystication, most of which I howewer already knew (being an aerospace engineer)...
