近50年来，自聚焦一直是一个活跃的科学研究领域。这本书提出了这一主题的全面处理，并回顾了自我聚焦的理论和实验研究。这本书应该感兴趣的科学家和工程师与激光及其应用的工作。从实用的角度来看，自聚焦效应对可以通过物质介质传输的功率施加了限制。自聚焦还可以降低其他非线性光学过程发生的阈值。自聚焦经常导致光学材料的损坏，是高功率激光系统设计中的一个限制因素。但它可以用于设计有用的设备，如光功率限制器和开关。在形式层面上，自聚焦方程等同于描述玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚体和等离子体物理和流体动力学某些方面的方程。因此，在非线性光学和这些其他学科之间有一个统一的主题。
Self-focusing has been an area of active scientific investigation for nearly 50 years. This book presents a comprehensive treatment of this topic and reviews both theoretical and experimental investigations of self-focusing. This book should be of interest to scientists and engineers working with lasers and their applications.From a practical point of view, self-focusing effects impose a limit on the power that can be transmitted through a material medium. Self-focusing also can reduce the threshold for the occurrence of other nonlinear optical processes. Self-focusing often leads to damage in optical materials and is a limiting factor in the design of high-power laser systems. But it can be harnessed for the design of useful devices such as optical power limiters and switches. At a formal level, the equations for self-focusing are equivalent to those describing Bose-Einstein condensates and certain aspects of plasma physics and hydrodynamics. There is thus a unifying theme between nonlinear optics and these other disciplines.
