Module 9: Second-order processes

Syllabus Modules Schedule

Objective:

Students will examine second-order nonlinear processes.  They will investigate second harmonic generation, optical rectification, parametric up-conversion, and parametric amplification. The will also study a simple model of the physical origin of second-order effects.
