Course content
The discipline "Fundamentals of nonlinear optics" studies the nonlinear interaction of light with the environment underlying nonlinear optical methods of transformation and generation coherent radiation. The program consists of four sections (topics): Topic 1. Nonlinear polarization and interaction of waves in a nonlinear medium. Topic 2. Generation of optical harmonics and parametric effects in quadratic environments. Topic 3. Forced light scattering. Topic 4. Nonlinear effects in cubic nonlinear media.
