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 ...

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.

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 ...

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-

Light guiding light: nonlinear refraction in rubidium vapour [PDF]
A quantum mechanical model of the interaction of rubidium atoms with two lasers was developed. The dielectric polarization of the rubidium as a function of the frequency was predicted using a quantum mechanical model. The presence of two major isotopes of rubidium was studied.

Solitary electromagnetic waves propagation in the asymmetric oppositely-directed coupler
We consider the electromagnetic waves propagating in the system of coupled waveguides. One of the system components is a standard waveguide fabricated from nonlinear medium having positive refraction and another component is a waveguide produced from an ...
