The first article, by S. Ya. Kilin, entitled \"Quanta and Information\", is concerned with a multidisciplinary subject which involves optics, information theory, programming and discrete mathematics. The second article, \"Optical Solitons in Periodic Media with Resonant and Off-Resonant Nonlinearities\", by G. Kurizki, A.E. Kozhekin, T. Optatrny and B. Malomed, reviews the properties of optical solitons in periodic nonlinear media. The article which follows deals with an effect and its inverse which is a manifestation of hindrance and enhancement, respectively, of the evolution of a quantum system by an external agent, such as a detection apparatus. The fourth article discusses the current status of a relatively new branch of physical optics, sometimes called singular optics. The next two articles respectively present a review of advances in two-photon interferometry and their relation to investigations of the foundations of quantum theory and an examination of transverse mode shaping and selection in laser resonators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Quanta and information\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Optical solitons in periodic media with resonant and off-resonant nonlinearities\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Quantum Zeno and inverse quantum Zeno effects\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Singular optics\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Multi-photon quantum interferometry\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Transverse mode shaping and selection in laser resonators\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAuthor index for volume 42\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSubject index for volume 42\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContents of previous volumes*\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eComulative index�Volumes 1–42*\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Optical physics [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Optical physics\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Optical%20physics%20%5BPHJ%5D%22\"\u003ePHJ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"North Holland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46651426341144,"sku":"9780444509086","price":96.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780444509086.jpg?v=1694979902","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/progress-in-optics-hardback-9780444509086","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
