Rectification, inversion, modulation, harmonic generation, and heterodyning are all effects
well known in the world of electronics as the essential properties of practical devices. These …

Examining classic theories, experimental methods, and practical formulas for exploration of
the core topics in nonlinear optics, the second edition of this acclaimed text was extensively …

It has been more than 10 years since the first electric field poled second-order nonlinear
polymers were reported. 1'2 During this period a wide variety of polymeric systems have …

We present a new formulation of Maker fringes in parallel-surface films, using self-consistent
boundary conditions for reflections and allowing for any degree of refractive-index …

A simplifying treatment is developed for describing the molecular origins of electric dipole
allowed sum-frequency generation (SFG) and second harmonic generation (SHG). The full …

Although chemists, biochemists, biologists, and material scientists are often interested in
using nonlinear optical techniques for characterizing their samples, they seldom have the …

Nonlinear optics is a mature field characterized by a wealth of phenomena that are well
understood. The microscopic origins of these phenomena are known to be in the quantum …

This comprehensive work presents a coherent critical review of photochemistry and
photophysics, including inorganic, organic, atmospheric, environmental, material, biological …

In this work we investigate a generic method able to extract information on molecular
organization in biological samples from polarized second harmonic generation (SHG) …

Second‐order optical nonlinearity χ (2) is induced in glass films by corona poling. The glass
films are fabricated by radio‐frequency sputtering Corning7059 onto Pyrex glass substrates …
