26. Nonlinear optics and light modulationLinear Optics and Nonlinear Optics
Linear OpticspThe optical properties, such as the refractive index and the absorption coefficient are independent of light intensity.The principle of superposition holdsThe principle of superposition holds.The frequency of light cannot be altered through the medium.Light cannot interact with light;
two beams of light in the same region of a linear opticaltwo beams of light in the same region of a linear optical medium can have no effect on each other. Thus light cannot see light.
Nonlinear optics (NLO)
The refractive index, and consequently the speed of light in an optical medium does change with the light intensitymedium, does change with the light intensity.The principle of superposition is violated.Light can alter its frequency as it passes through a nonlinear optical material (e g from red to blue!)material (e.g., from red to blue!).Light can interact with light via the medium
Thus light can control light.

Third-order nonlinear effectIn media possessing centrosymmetry, the second-order nonlinear term is absent since the polarization must reverse exactly when the p yelectric field is reversed. The dominant nonlinearity is then of third order,

The third-order nonlinear material is called a Kerr medium.
