Introduction
This course aims to provide a good fundamental understanding of nonlinear optical phenomena, which are the working principles of major photonic devices and systems.
This course is part of:
- Graduate Certificate in Precision Instrumentation
- FlexiMasters in Precision Instrumentation
On completion of the course, the learners will acquire a good understanding of the physics and operation of optical device and systems that commonly available in advanced manufacturing as product or characterisation tools.
1. Nonlinear optical susceptibilities: linear & nonlinear optical susceptibilities, with a focus on propagation and coupling equations in linear and nonlinear media.
2. Second-order nonlinear optical effects: second harmonic generation and phase matching technology; sum- and difference-frequency generation; parametric amplification and oscillation; quasi-phase matching technique and introduction to photonic crystals.
3. Third-order nonlinear optical effects: four wave interaction and coupling equation; four-wave-mixing and phase conjugation; intense beam induced refractive index change, e.g. optical Kerr effect, self-focusing/defocusing, self-phase modulation; nonlinear optical absorption, e.g. two-photon absorption, saturable absorption and reverse saturable absorption; electro-optic, acousto-optics and photorefractive effects.
