Coherence and Quantum Optics: Proceedings of the Third Rochester Conference on Coherence and Quantum Optics held at the University of Rochester, June 21-23, 1972

This volume presents the written versions of papers that were delivered at the Third Rochester Conference on Coherence and Quantum Optics, held on the campus of the University of Rochester during the three days of June 21-23, 1972. The Conference was a sequel to two earlier meetings devoted to the same field of modern physics, that were also held in Rochester in 1960 and in 1966. The scope of the Conference was largely confined to basic pro­ blems in the general area of optical coherence an...
