Deflection of light by a Coulomb charge in Born–Infeld electrodynamics
We study the propagation of light under a strong electric field in Born–Infeld electrodynamics. The nonlinear effect can be described by the effective indices of refraction.

Low- and High-Order Optical Nonlinearities of Quantum Dots
Various potential applications of quantum dots (QDs) require knowledge of their optical nonlinearities. In this review, the third-order nonlinearities responsible for the saturable absorption, two-photon absorption, reverse saturable absorption, and ...

Detection of second-order nonlinear optical magnetization by mapping normalized Stokes parameters [PDF]
A measurable magnetic (nonlocal) contribution to the second harmonic generation (SHG) of nonmagnetic materials is an intriguing issue related to chiral materials, such as biomolecules.

Measuring Nonlinear Refraction and Its Dispersion
We describe methods for measuring the nonlinear refraction of nominally transparent materials that involve propagation from the near to the far field, which changes a phase distortion into an amplitude redistribution.

Effect of femtosecond laser pulse repetition rate on nonlinear optical properties of organic liquids [PDF]
The effect of the repetition rate of femtosecond laser pulses on the two-photon absorption and nonlinear refraction of pure organic liquids is presented using the conventional Z-scan technique. Such a study provides a way to determine the nature of light-

Laser Induced Nonlinear Optical Properties of Zinc Oxide Thin Film Prepared by Sol-Gel Method [PDF]
Optical nonlinearities of spin coated ZnO thin film have been investigated by using single beam Z-Scan technique in the visible region. X- ray diffraction shows that all films are oriented along the c-axis direction of the hexagonal crystal structure ...

Perspectives on nonlinear optics of graphene: Opportunities and challenges
The first nonlinear-optical experiments with graphene date back over a decade, and a wide range of research breakthroughs has been reported since then, particularly on the third-order nonlinearities of the material.

Refraction of nonlinear light beams in nematic liquid crystals [PDF]
Optical spatial solitons in nematic liquid crystals, termed nematicons, have become an excellent test bed for nonlinear optics, ranging from fundamental effects to potential uses, such as designing and demonstrating all-optical switching and routing ...

Negative refraction in nonlinear wave systems
Scientists have been familiar with the phenomenon of wave refraction for several centuries. Recently, a novel type of refraction, i.e., negative refraction, where both incident and refractory lines locate on the same side of the normal line, has been ...
