PREFACE
This volume is composed of papers (invited and contributed) presented at the
International Conference on Coherence and Quantum Optics held at the University
of Hyderabad January 5-January 10, 1991. It has been organized by Professor Girish
Agarwal and his colleagues at the School of Physics, University of Hyderabad, Hyder
abad, India under partial support from the Department of Science and Technology,
Government of India, International Center for Theoretical Physics, Trieste, Italy and
the National Science Foundation, USA. Without the untiring efforts of Prof. Girish
Agarwal and the members of his quantum office group, the Conference and the present
volume would not have been possible. Some extraordinary circumstances resulted in
a delay of the publication of the present volume. Our sincere apologies to all the
authors. We deeply regret the inconvenience caused due to the delay.
A debt of gratitude is due to Ms. Kim Bella for the excellent typing job of the
different versions and the final version of the manuscript. It is a pleasure to acknowl
edge the efforts of Ms. Pat Vann, Mr. Greg Safford and Mr. Eric Katz of the Plenum
Publishing, without whose interest and persistence this volume would not have been
possible.
