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.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Teaching methods: lectures, laboratory demonstrations, consultations. Evaluation methods:
modular tests, essays and exam. The final grade is based on
intermediate grades of modular control (40%) and exam (60%).
Assessment methods and criteria
Semester assessment:
1. Modular test 1 (6 points - 10 points) and 2 essays (3 - 5 points each). 2. Modular test 2 (6 points - 10 points) and 2 essays (3 - 5 points each), a minimum of 24 points, a maximum of 40 points.
Final assessment in the form of an exam - from 36 to 60 points.
