Abstract

Nonlinear optical phenomena play important roles in the vast emerging fields of micro- and nano-technology. This paper describes the general characteristics of nonlinear optical materials and systems, with a focus on parametric amplification, frequency-doubling with pump depletion, quantum noise accompanying attenuation and amplification of light beams, and parametric fluorescence.
