Nonlinear Optical Materials

Nonlinear optical materials are substances that exhibit optical properties that are not linearly proportional to the intensity of incident light. In other words, these materials produce optical effects that depend on the square or higher powers of the incident electromagnetic field, leading to nonlinear interactions between light and matter. This nonlinearity enables a variety of important applications in photonics, including frequency conversion, optical switching, and generation of ultrafast optical pulses.

Glossary

nonlinear optical crystal An optical crystal that possesses a strong nonlinear dielectric response function to optical radiation. A material with a strong second-order nonlinearity must not possess a center of symmetry. See phase matching.
optical materials Optical materials refer to substances or compounds specifically chosen for their optical properties and used in the fabrication of optical components and systems. These materials are characterized by their ability to interact with light in a...
impurity level In the context of optical materials, the term "impurity level" refers to the presence of foreign atoms or molecules within the material that deviate from its regular or intrinsic composition. These impurities can have a significant impact on the...
nonlinear optics Nonlinear optics is a branch of optics that studies the optical phenomena that occur when intense light interacts with a material and induces nonlinear responses. In contrast to linear optics, where the response of a material is directly...
