Wed, 20 August 2008 On May 9, 2008, Dr. Eric Van Stryland spoke to the OSA University of California, Irvine Student Chapter about non-linear optics as part of the OSA Traveling Lecturer Program. For the uninitiated, Wikipedia says nonlinear optics (NLO) is the branch of optics that describes the behavior of light in nonlinear media, that is, media in which the dielectric polarization P responds nonlinearly to the electric field E of the light. This nonlinearity is typically only observed at very high light intensities such as those provided by pulsed lasers. We hope you enjoy Eric’s presentation.
