Nonlinear optics is the branch of photonics that studies material responses wherein the induced polarisation is not directly proportional to the applied electromagnetic field. In these media, intense ...

The Max Born Institute for Nonlinear Optics and Short Pulse Spectroscopy (MBI) is a nonprofit research institution, organized in the legal form of a registered association (Forschungsverbund Berlin ...

Research on gold nanoparticle-infused borotellurite glasses reveals enhanced nonlinear optical properties, making them ideal ...

Nonlinear optics has long relied on high-power lasers, whose spatial and temporal coherence ensures efficient nonlinear frequency conversion. However, a new study challenges the traditional assumption ...

When light passes through a material, it often behaves in unpredictable ways. This phenomenon is the subject of “nonlinear optics”, which is now integral to technological and scientific advances – ...

Imaginary part of the 2D spectrum of the Kitaev ring in (a) the topologically trivial phase with μ=0.005Λ, w=Δ=0.495Λ, and (b) the nontrivial phase with μ=0.495Λ and w=Δ=0.005Λ for N=60. Credit: ...

Liquids and solutions may look simple, but on the molecular scale they are constantly shifting and reorganizing. When sugar dissolves in water, each sugar molecule quickly becomes surrounded by fast ...

Terahertz (THz) radiation underpins many next-generation technologies and advances in materials science, but current THz ...

A recent article in Advanced Materials reports a new fabrication method for nonlinear optical components using nanostructured polycrystalline lithium niobate (LN). The study addresses key limitations ...

SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, awarded their Gold Medal to Maryellen Giger (pictured here with her ...
