Nonlinear optics
TL;DR: In this method, non-linear susceptibility tensors are introduced which relate the induced dipole moment to a power series expansion in field strengths and the various experimental observations are described and interpreted in terms of this formalism.

An ultrafast light gate
M. A. Duguay,J. W. Hansen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple technique for gating light on and off on the picosecond time scale is described, which is built in much the same fashion as traditional Kerr cells, the difference lying in the use of powerful optical pulses rather than electrical pulses to induce a birefringence in various liquids.

Beam nonparaxiality, filament formation, and beam breakup in the self-focusing of optical beams
Michael D. Feit,J. A. Fleck +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a non-paraxial algorithm for the Helmholtz equation is applied to the self-focusing of Gaussian and ring-shaped beams, and the results give insight into filament formation and beam breakup resulting from the self focusing of optical beams.
