Nonlinear optical physics
Description |
|---|
|
Prof. Robert Boyd, Depts. of Optics & Physics, University of Rochester gives a brief tutorial overview of the field of nonlinear optics, then describes new directions for research in nonlinear optics, including the use of quantum coherence techniques and the development of improved optical materials with enhanced nonlinear optical response. Of particular interest is the use of nanofabrication techniques for the construction of new materials and devices. He illustrates these basic ideas through various applications of nonlinear optics, including the construction of all-optical switches, the construction of optical delay lines based on the use of "fast" and "slow" light, and the use of quantum states of light to form optical images with unprecedented resolution and sensitivity. |
