L1 Logistics. Intro To OSE 6334 Nonlinear Optics Konstantin Vodopyanov 1 1 Lecture 1 Introduction to nonlinear optics. Logistics. 2 2 1 What this course is about This course gives a broad introduction to the field of Nonlinear Optics (NLO). The goal is to get you acquainted with the main effects of nonlinear optics and also introduce main equations that govern nonlinear-optical interactions. Beginning with a simple electron on a spring model—the course gives comprehensive explanations of second-order and third-order nonlinear effects and their physical origins. The corse covers nonlinear optics from a combined: physics, optics, materials science, and devices perspective. Examples will be given on solving practical problems such as design of nonlinear frequency converters, and also devices using ultrafast and high intensity lasers. 3 3 Newton’s superposition principle f(A+B) = f(A) + f(B) B Isaac Newton 1642 –1726 A Newton: Light cannot interact with light. Two beams of light can have no effect on each other. 4 4 2 Nonlinear optics f(A+B) ≠ f(A) + f(B) Beams A and B can create beam C Nicolaas Bloembergen B 1920–2017 Nobel Prize in Physics (1981) C A NLO: photons do interact 5 5 Linear Optics • The optical properties such as the refractive index and the absorption coefficient are independent of light intensity. • The Newton’s principle of superposition: light cannot interact with light. Two beams of light in the same region of a linear optical medium can have no effect on each other. Thus light cannot control light. • The frequency of light cannot be altered by its passage through the medium. Nonlinear Optics • The refractive index, and consequently the speed of light in an optical medium does change with the light intensity. • The absorption coefficient does change with the light intensity. • The principle of superposition is violated. Light can control light; photons do interact. • Light can alter its frequency as it passes through a nonlinear optical crystal, e.g. from red to blue and vice versa.

First, several types of scalable solid state quantum bits were developed, which demonstrated controlled quan- tum coherence in artificial mesoscopic structures [–] and eventually led to the devel- opment of structures, which contain hundreds of qubits and show signatures of global quantum coherence (see [, ] and references therein). In parallel, it was realized that the interaction of superconducting qubits with quantized electromagnetic field modes re- produces, in the microwave range, a plethora of effects known from quantum optics (in particular, cavity QED) with qubits playing the role of atoms (‘circuit QED’, [–]).

  • Negative Refractive Index in Artificial Metamaterials
    1 Negative Refractive Index in Artificial Metamaterials A. N. Grigorenko Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Manchester, Manchester, M13 9PL, UK We discuss optical constants in artificial metamaterials showing negative magnetic permeability and electric permittivity and suggest a simple formula for the refractive index of a general optical medium. Using effective field theory, we calculate effective permeability and the refractive index of nanofabricated media composed of pairs of identical gold nano-pillars with magnetic response in the visible spectrum. PACS: 73.20.Mf, 41.20.Jb, 42.70.Qs 2 The refractive index of an optical medium, n, can be found from the relation n2 = εμ , where ε is medium’s electric permittivity and μ is magnetic permeability.1 There are two branches of the square root producing n of different signs, but only one of these branches is actually permitted by causality.2 It was conventionally assumed that this branch coincides with the principal square root n = εμ .1,3 However, in 1968 Veselago4 suggested that there are materials in which the causal refractive index may be given by another branch of the root n =− εμ . These materials, referred to as left- handed (LHM) or negative index materials, possess unique electromagnetic properties and promise novel optical devices, including a perfect lens.4-6 The interest in LHM moved from theory to practice and attracted a great deal of attention after the first experimental realization of LHM by Smith et al.7, which was based on artificial metallic structures

Shortly after the demonstration of first working laser in 1960 by Maiman (Nature, 187 (1960) 493), the field of nonlinear optics began with the observation of second harmonic by Franken et al. in 1961 (Phys. Rev. Lett., 7 (1961) 118). Since then, the interest in this field has grown and various nonlinear optical effects are utilized for purposes such as nonlinear microscopy, switching, harmonic generation, parametric downconversion, filamentation, etc. We present here a brief overview of the various aspects on nonlinear optics and some of the recent advances in the field. c Societ`a Italiana di Fisica 31 32 S.

Its tradi- tional topics cover different types of parametric processes, such as second-harmonic generation, as well as a variety of self-action effects, such as filamentation and solitons, typically observed at high light intensities delivered by pulsed lasers. While the study of nonlinear effects has a very long history going back to the physics of mechanical systems, the field of nonlinear op- tics is relatively young and, as a matter of fact, was born only after the invention of the laser. Soon after, the study of light-matter interaction emerged as an active direction of research and boosted the developments in material science and source technologies. Nowadays, nonlinear optics has evolved into many different branches, depending on the form of the material used for studying the nonlinear phenomena.

  • Nonlinear Optics in Daily Life
    Nonlinear optics in daily life Elsa Garmire* Thayer School of Engineering, Dartmouth College, 14 Engineering Drive, Hanover, NH, 03755, USA *[email protected] Abstract: An overview is presented of the impact of NLO on today’s daily life. While NLO researchers have promised many applications, only a few have changed our lives so far. This paper categorizes applications of NLO into three areas: improving lasers, interaction with materials, and information technology. NLO provides: coherent light of different wavelengths; multi-photon absorption for plasma-materials interaction; advanced spectroscopy and materials analysis; and applications to communications and sensors. Applications in information processing and storage seem less mature. © 2013 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (190.0190) Nonlinear optics; (060.0060) Fiber optics and optical communications; (120.0120) Instrumentation, measurement, and metrology; (140.0140) Lasers and laser optics; (180.0180) Microscopy; (300.0300) Spectroscopy.

  • Light-Wave Mixing and Scattering with Quantum Gases
    23rd International Laser Physics Workshop (LPHYS’14) IOP Publishing Journal of Physics: Conference Series 594 (2015) 012011 doi:10.1088/1742-6596/594/1/012011 Light-wave mixing and scattering with quantum gases L. Deng and E.W. Hagley National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899 USA C.J. Zhu School of Physical Science and Engineering, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: We show that optical processes originating from elementary excitations with dominant collective atomic recoil motion in a quantum gas can profoundly change many nonlinear optical processes routinely observed in a normal gas. Not only multi-photon wave mixing processes all become stimulated Raman or hyper-Raman in nature but the usual forward wave-mixing process, which is the most efficient process in normal gases, is strongly reduced by the condensate structure factor. On the other hand, in the backward direction the Bogoliubov dispersion automatically compensates the optical- wave phase mismatch, resulting in efficient backward light field generation that usually is not supported in normal gases. 1. Introduction Since the invention of the laser in 1960, the field of nonlinear optics has exploded. In a typical nonlinear optical process, often referred to as coherent wave-mixing, several photons are absorbed simultaneously by an atomic or molecular medium, and a photon with a different frequency is produced. Under the right conditions, the generated radiation may be coherently amplified by the quantum mechanical mechanism of stimulated emission identified by Albert Einstein. Today, 95 years after Einstein’s prediction, we are surrounded by practical applications of nonlinear optics, from multi-channel telecom lasers to the common laser pointer.

  • Learning Dominant Physical Processes with Data-Driven Balance Models ✉ Jared L
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-21331-z OPEN Learning dominant physical processes with data-driven balance models ✉ Jared L. Callaham 1 , James V. Koch2, Bingni W. Brunton 3, J. Nathan Kutz4 & Steven L. Brunton1 Throughout the history of science, physics-based modeling has relied on judiciously approximating observed dynamics as a balance between a few dominant processes. How- ever, this traditional approach is mathematically cumbersome and only applies in asymptotic 1234567890():,; regimes where there is a strict separation of scales in the physics. Here, we automate and generalize this approach to non-asymptotic regimes by introducing the idea of an equation space, in which different local balances appear as distinct subspace clusters. Unsupervised learning can then automatically identify regions where groups of terms may be neglected. We show that our data-driven balance models successfully delineate dominant balance physics in a much richer class of systems. In particular, this approach uncovers key mechanistic models in turbulence, combustion, nonlinear optics, geophysical fluids, and neuroscience. 1 Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA. 2 Oden Institute for Computational & Engineering Sciences, University of Texas, Austin, TX, USA. 3 Department of Biology, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA. 4 Department of Applied Mathematics, University of ✉ Washington, Seattle, WA, USA. email: [email protected] NATURE COMMUNICATIONS | (2021) 12:1016 | https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-21331-z | www.nature.com/naturecommunications 1 ARTICLE NATURE COMMUNICATIONS | https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-21331-z t is well known across the engineering and physical sciences such models is not always necessary to describe the local behavior Ithat persistent behaviors in complex systems are often deter- of a system.
