PREFACE
The Fifth Rochester Conference on Coherence and Quantum Optics
was held on the campus of the University of Rochester during the
three-day period June 13-June 15, 1983. This volume contains almest
all the papers that were presented at the meeting, in a few cases in
abbreviated form.
The meetingwas largest of the series. There were altogether
t~e
310 registrants from 30 different countries. 181 papers were pre
sented, covering a wide range of subjects, including laser spectros
copy, photon statistics and correlations, superradiance, phase conju
gation, squeezed states, optical bistability, optical chaos, reso
nant pulse propagation, multiphoton processes, and many others. At
each of the previous Rochester Conferences some new topics were fea
tured. This time the subjects of chaos and squeezing provided a new
focus of interest and a substantial number of contributions.
The Conference was organized by a committee consisting of
N. Bloembergen, Harvard University
C. Cohen-Tannoudji, Ecole Normale Superieure
C. Dainty, University of Rochester
J. H. Eberly, University of Rochester
H. M. Gibbs, University of Arizona
E. L. Hahn, University of California at Berkeley
H. Haken, University of Stuttgart
M. Lax, City College of CUNY
A. L. Schawlow, Stanford University
M. 0. Scully, University of New Mexico
C. R. Stroud, University of Rochester
L. Mandel, University of Rochester }Joi t Secretaries
E. Wolf, University of Rochester n
The Conference was sponsored by the Air Force Office of Scienti
fic Research, by the Optical Society of America, and by the Univer
sity of Rochester. We are grateful for their support. We also wish
to express our appreciation to Mrs. Barbara Hicks and Miss Mary Ellen
Malzone of the Executive Office of the Optical Society of America,

who took on most of the work associated with registration of the
participants. We are greatly indebted to Mrs. Ruth Andrus, who once
again handled much of the paper work connected with organizing
the Conference and also with preparation of this vol~~e. We are
also obliged to her and to William Christian, Stephen Friberg,
Rupa Ghosh and Paul Lett for assistance with preparation of the
subject index.
