Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the fundamental principles and formulations of nonlinear optics (NLO), this comprehensive, single-source reference presents practical formulas for use in a variety of experimental and design situations, current applications of NLO to specific technical problems, the latest device and materials data, and state-of-the-art methods for characterizing new materials - supplying much-needed continuity in nomenclature and the use of physical units. Providing a succinct interpretation of formulas and a conceptual understanding of NLO phenomena, the Handbook of Nonlinear Optics covers key elements of NLO such as frequency conversion, optical parametric oscillators and amplifiers, nonlinear refraction and absorption, and stimulated light scattering... describes experimental techniques for characterizing nonlinear parameters for both second and third order materials... considers common and less well known experimental methods... provides mathematical formulas in SI and cgs (esu) units, as well as conversions between these two systems... avoids unnecessary elaboration of mathematical derivations... details nonlinear optical parameters for a variety of gases, liquids, solutions, suspensions, inorganic and organic solids, and polymers... and more. Furnishing over 900 up-to-date references to the literature and more than 1040 helpful tables, equations, and drawings, the Handbook of Nonlinear Optics is a vital resource for optical, electro-optical, electrical and electronics, mechanical, chemical, and aerospace engineers; optical physicists; materials scientists; physical and organic chemists; metallurgists; research and development personnel in industry, government, and academia; and upper-level undergraduate, graduate, and continuing-education students in these disciplines.
Download or read book Handbook of Nonlinear Optical Crystals written by Valentin G. Dmitriev and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the invention of the first laser 30 years ago, the frequency conversion of laser radiation in nonlinear optical crystals has become an important technique widely used in quantum electronics and laser physics for solving various scientific and engineering problems. The fundamental physics of three-wave light interactions in nonlinear optical crystals is now largely understood. This has enabled the production of the various harmonic generators, sum and difference frequency generators, and parametric oscillators based on nonlinear crystals that are now commercially available. At the same time, scientists continue an active search for novel high-efficiency optical materials. Therefore, in our opinion, there is a great need for a handbook of nonlinear optical crystals, intended for specialists and practitioners with an engineering background. This book contains a complete description of the properties and applications of all nonlinear crystals reported in the literature up to the beginning of 1990. In addition, it contains the most important equations for calculating the main parameters (such as phase-matching direction, effective non-linearity, and conversion efficiency) of nonlinear frequency converters.

Book excerpt: Major aspects of nonlinear optics have been discussed in this book. Characterization of properties of light traversal in non-linear media has always intrigued scientists and researchers. Accelerated advancement of laser techniques and optoelectronic devices account for a crucial task of formulating and analyzing the structures capable of efficiently transforming, modulating, and recording optical data in a wide spectrum of radiation energy densities and frequencies at one hand, and novel approaches and schemes capable of activating and stimulating the contemporary features on the other. It is a known fact that the phenomena and materials of nonlinear optics have an assuring place in dealing with these intricate technical tasks. The state-of-the-art ideas, approaches, and information presented in this book will be beneficial to the readers in developing a sustainable solution in basic analysis as well as industrial approach.

Book excerpt: This book reflects the latest advances in nonlinear optics. Besides the simple, strict mathematical deduction, it also discusses the experimental verification and possible future applications, such as the all-optical switches. It consistently uses the practical unit system throughout. It employs simple physical images, such as "light waves" and "photons" to systematically explain the main principles of nonlinear optical effects. It uses the first-order nonlinear wave equation in frequency domain under the condition of “slowly varying amplitude approximation" and the classical model of the interaction between the light and electric dipole. At the same time, it also uses the rate equations based on the energy-level transition of particle systems excited by photons and the energy and momentum conservation principles to explain the nonlinear optical phenomenon. The book is intended for researchers, engineers and graduate students in the field of optics, optoelectronics, fiber communication, information technology and materials etc.
