Lecture 1 : an introduction to nonlinear optics
Résumé de section
-
The objective of the first lecture is to introduce nonlinear optics by discussing the signification of optics in nonlinear regime, the related effects and applications . A first description of nonlinear interactions will be given enabling to identify the various nonlinear effects that will be studied during the course. Finally, the origin of the nonlinearities will be discussed using a classical model.
By the end of this first course, students will be able to ...
- derive the relation between the macroscopic polarization and the electrice field (the so-called constitutive relations of nonlinear optics) (K1)
- cite nonlinear effects that arise in a 2nd and 3rd order nonlinear materials (K2)
- provide a classical description for the origin of the nonlinear susceptibilities (K3)
By the end of this first course, students will start to understand ...- the capability
of light matter interactions in modifying light properties : frequency
generation, optical rectification… (Q1)
- how a perturbative approache enables in describing and deriving a NON LINEAR problem in
physics (Q2)
the link between the microscopic and macroscopic terms in Maxwell’s equations (induced dipole, macroscopic polarization and fields) (Q3)
