The sixth Rochester Conference on Coherence and Quantum Optics was held at the
Campus of the University of Rochester during the three-day period June 26-28, 1989.
This Conference was a sequel to five earlier meetings in this series, held in 1960, 1966,
1972, 1977 and 1983.
The latest meeting was by far the largest. There were 327 registrants from 26 different countries. Altogether 252 papers were presented in 45 sessions. There were also
22 poster papers. This volume contains an abbreviated version of most of the papers presented at the meeting.
The Conference was organized by a Program Committee consisting of the following:
F.T. Arecchi (Istit. Naz. d'Ott., Firenze)
N. Bloembergen (Harvard U.)
C. Cohen-Tannoudji (Ecole Normale Superieure)
H. Haken (U. Stuttgart)
S. Haroche (Yale and Ecole Normale Supeneure)
A.L. Schawlow (Stanford U.)
C.R. Stroud, Jr. (U. of Rochester)
D.F. Walls (U. of Auckland)
H. Walther (Max-Planck-Inst. and U. MUnchen)
J.H. EberlY] L. Mandel Joint Secretaries (U. of Rochester)
E. Wolf
v The Conference was sponsored by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, by
the Optical Society of America, by the American Physical Society and by the University of
Rochester. We wish to use this opportunity to thank all of the sponsors for their support.
We also wish to express our appreciation to Ms. Barbara Hicks, Ms. Cynthia 1. Gady and
Ms. Donna Leggett of the Executive Office of the Optical Society of America who provided
major help with the registration of the participants. Mrs. Ruth Andrus, Mrs. Ellen Calkins
and Mrs. Jean Smith have handled much of the paperwork connected with the meeting and
also with the preparation of this volume. We are grateful for their help. We also wish to
thank some of our graduate students, too numerous to be mentioned individually, for
assistance with preparation of the subject index.
