Abstract
In Chap. 9 we discussed the interaction of light with various nonlinear media. There we used a nonlinear polarizability model in which the underlying atomic dynamics did not appear explicitly. In this chapter we consider the light/atom interaction explicitly and consider two examples; optical bistability and squeezed light generation in four wave mixing. The main objective is to determine the dependence of the nonlinear coupling and noise terms on the atomic parameters.
