Nonlinear optics is a part of optics, dealing with various kinds of optical nonlinearities e.g. in nonlinear crystal materials (including both dielectrics and semiconductors) or in optical fibers and other waveguide devices. Nonlinear effects with light are those where e.g. twice the optical input intensities does not simply result in …

The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) maintains installations worldwide; worth over $1.2 trillion and critical to U.S. national security. Physical changes to the environment such as flooding, drought, and extreme storms disrupt U.S. military capabilities and facilities, including training ranges, bases, and housing. A 2019 DoD assessment found that out …
Read More »Non-Linear Optical Materials and Applications
Nonlinear optical (NLO) materials have long been known to interact with light, to produce a nonlinear response. Nonlinear optical materials use nonlinear dependence of the refraction index on the applied electric field to produce other frequencies. This results in either harmonic generation or frequency shifting. The development of the field was …
