Know the causes, conditions and general laws of nonlinear-optical interaction of waves in the medium and the properties of nonlinear-optical media. Know the basic laws of second optical harmonic generation (SOH), parametric frequency enhancement, parametric amplification and light generation; understand the conditions for applying these processes to expand the spectral range of coherent radiation generation. Know the methods of implementing phase synchronization, requirements for the accuracy of orientation of nonlinear crystals, compliance with temperature and radiation frequency stability. Be able to choose optimal schemes of second optical harmonic generators and parametric light generators depending on practical tasks and configure their operation. Be able to choose the conditions for observations of stimulated Raman scattering and CARS.

1. Know the basics of physical optics, electrodynamics and quantum mechanics. 2. Know the basics of quantum electronics and have the skills to work with solid-state lasers.

The academic discipline “Fundamentals of Nonlinear Optics” studies the nonlinear interaction of light with the medium, which underlies nonlinear optical methods of conversion and generation of coherent radiation. The program consists of four sections (topics): Topic 1. Nonlinear polarization and wave interaction in a nonlinear medium. Topic 2. Generation of optical harmonics and parametric effects in quadratic media. Topic 3. Stimulated scattering of light. Topic 4. Nonlinear effects in cubic nonlinear media. The topics are divided into two substantive modules: Module 1 - topics 1 and 2 Module 2 - topics 3 and 4.

Teaching methods: lectures, laboratory demonstrations, consultations.

Assessment methods: modular tests, essays and exam. The final grade is based on intermediate grades from the module test (40%) and the exam (60%). Semester assessment: 1. Modular test paper 1 (6 points - 10 points) and 2 essays (3 - 5 points each). 2. Modular test paper 2 (6 points - 10 points) and 2 essays (3 - 5 points each), total minimum 24 points, maximum - 40 points. - final assessment in the form of an exam (mandatory examination assessment in written form).
