Synopsis
Despite the fact that most fundamental nonlinear optical processes have been demonstrated al-ready in the 60's, nonlinear optics has recently seen a strongly revived interest. This development has been influenced by the emergence of ultrashort laser sources with peak powers that enable widespread application of nonlinear effects for wavelength conversion and supercontinuum gen-eration, for few-cycle pulse generation and compression, for electro-optic and all-optical switch-ing, as well as for high-precision spectroscopy and multiphoton microscopy. Nonlinear optics also plays an important role in ultrashort pulse generation and characterization and in parametric conversion and amplification of light. Nonlinear optics also allows investigations in previously unreachable areas like THz spectroscopy and the emerging field of attoscience. While traditional nonlinear optics is well described by a perturbative approach, many new regimes of femtosecond nonlinear optics involve highly nonlinear or extremely complex scenarios as in, e.g., high-order harmonic generation and supercontinuum generation in microstructured fibers or filaments.
At the same time, periodic poling, nonlinear waveguides and resonantors, and novel organic nonlinear materials pave the way for nonlinear optics at ultraweak field strengths. Nonlinear optics is also closely linked to materials research for applications in photonic crystals, microstructured materials, plasmonics, and nanoparticles. Other important topics are nonlinear dynamics, in par-ticular the formation of solitons, transverse effects, and photonic lattices.

- Femtosecond and few-cycle pulses
- Nonlinear spectroscopy and microscopy
