Interferometry of hyper-Rayleigh scattering by inhomogeneous thin films

Optics 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

The use of specific symmetry properties of the optical second-harmonic generation (the s,s-exclusion rule) has allowed us to observe high-contrast hyper-Rayleigh interference patterns in a completely diffuse light - an effect having no analog in case of linear (Rayleigh) scattering.
