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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Structured light can significantly enhance information capacity, due to its coupling of spatial dimensions and multiple degrees of freedom. In recent years, the combination of structured light ...

Organic Non-Linear Optical (NLO) Materials have emerged as a promising field of study within the realm of chemistry. These materials possess unique optical properties that enable the manipulation and ...

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 – ...

In the 1960s, physicists showed how light could interact with itself in intriguing ways thanks to a process known as second-harmonic generation. In the right kind of material, two photons of a certain ...

A photonic image/video/vision recognition system would be a huge step forward for autonomous moving systems. Your robot car could see and categorize a potentially dangerous object up ahead in ...

You wouldn’t think that shaking something in just the right way would be the recipe for creating laser light, but as [Les Wright] explains in his new video, that’s pretty much how his DIY Raman laser ...
