Nonlinear Optical Rectification in an Inversion-Symmetry-Broken Molecule near a Metallic Nanoparticle [PDF]
Nanomaterials, 2022 We study the nonlinear optical rectification of an inversion-symmetry-broken quantum system interacting with an optical field near a metallic nanoparticle, exemplified in a polar zinc–phthalocyanine molecule in proximity to a gold nanosphere.

Ionizing terahertz waves with 260 MV/cm from scalable optical rectification [PDF]
Light: Science & ApplicationsTerahertz (THz) waves, known as non-ionizing radiation owing to their low photon energies, can actually ionize atoms and molecules when a sufficiently large number of THz photons are concentrated in time and space.

Optical Ortho-Rectification for Image-Based Stream Surface Flow Observations Using a Ground Camera
Frontiers in Water, 2021 Image-based stream flow observation consists of three components: (i) image acquisition, (ii) ortho-rectification, and (iii) an image-based velocity estimation. Ortho-rectification is a type of coordinate transformation.

Observation of magneto-electric rectification at non-relativistic intensities
Nature Communications, 2020 The role of the optical magnetic field is generally not considered at nonrelativistic light intensities. Here the authors show magneto-electric rectification, an optical nonlinear effect due to electric and magnetic field coupling, in a thin film of the ...
