The study of nonlinear optical (NLO) materials has gathered substantial momentum as researchers explore their capacity to transform incident light into new frequencies. These materials underpin ...

The nonlinear susceptibility is a measure of a material's nonlinear response to an applied electric field. It determines the strength of the nonlinear effects and is related to the crystal's symmetry ...

Recently, the introduction of nonlinear optical functions in integrated optics has sparked significant enthusiasm. Demonstrations have shown the potential for integrated photonic platforms.

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2022.210093 consider the present and future of nonlinear optical metasurfaces. One of the main objectives of optics is the control of ...

A new microscopy technique allows scientists to see single-atom-thick boron nitride by making it glow under infrared light.

Physicists have developed a lens with 'magic' properties. Ultra-thin, it can transform infrared light into visible light by halving the wavelength of incident light. Lenses are the most widely used ...

Stanford scientists found that strontium titanate improves its performance when frozen to near absolute zero, showing extraordinary optical and mechanical behavior. Its nonlinear and piezoelectric ...
