Nonlinear optics

Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 1990
This paper presents a broad and well-written account of some major features of nonlinear optics. It sketches the development - via the discovery of laser - of optics from a linear science to todays highly nonlinear research field, displaying the full and enormously rich phenomenology characterizing this area.

Nonlinear optical interferometer

Applied Optics, 1982
The interferometer described, based on the second harmonic generation of light, is useful in the contouring of refractive objects with large variations in optical depth. The device is a real-time common-path self-referencing interferometer that yields interferograms in the visible with an equivalent wavelength of the order of 50 microm.

Nonlinear atom optics

Contemporary Physics, 2002
The availability of coherent matter waves from Bose-Einstein condensates had led to the extension of atom optics from the linear to the nonlinear regime, in analogy with the developments in optics following the invention of the laser. We provide a tutorial introduction to this emerging field, emphasizing the role of collisions as a “nonlinear medium ...

Nonlinear atom optics

Physical Review Letters, 1993
Interatomic interactions can introduce nonlinear behavior into a system of trapped ultracold atoms, similar to the dynamics of light propagating in a refractive nonlinear medium. Bose-Einstein condensates are now providing the means for studying coherent nonlinear dynamics with dilute atomic systems.

Chirality in Nonlinear Optics

Annual Review of Physical Chemistry, 2009
The past decade has witnessed the emergence of new measurement approaches and applications for chiral thin films and materials enabled by the observations of the high sensitivity of second-order nonlinear optical measurements to chirality. In thin films, the chiral response to second harmonic generation and sum frequency generation (SFG) from a single

Nonlinear magneto-optics

Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials, 1997
Abstract The time-reversal symmetry breaking, that is the result of the presence of a magnetization, leads to a number of well-known magneto-optical effects like Faraday rotation in transmission and Kerr rotation in reflection. In nonlinear optics in the electric-dipole approximation optical effects, e.g.

Photorefractive nonlinear optics and optical computing

Optical Engineering, 1989
This paper describes various nonlinear optical phenomena in photorefractive media and selected applications in optical computing. These phenomena include optical phase conjugation, two- and four-wave mixing, and real-time holography. The applications include image amplification and subtraction, logic and matrix operations, and optical interconnection.

Nonlinear optics in aerosols

Optics Letters, 1980
We identify an aerosol of dielectric particles as a broadband, low-power nonlinear-optics medium. We demonstrate theoretically that a room-temperature volume of 5-μm-radius glass spheres will exhibit a third-order susceptibility in the visible equal to ~10f esu, where f is the volumetric packing fraction of the spheres.

Nonlinear Optical Materials

Science, 1991
The current state of materials development in nonlinear optics is summarized, and the promise of these materials is critically evaluated. Properties and important materials constants of current commercial materials and of new, promising, inorganic and organic molecular and polymeric materials with potential in second- and third-order nonlinear optical ...
