NonLinear Optics Lecture Notes
This lecture note is intended to provide theoretical background to understand and predict a host of optical phenomena that become possible when nonlinearity in the optical response of a material is included in the description. It includes a detailed description of several of these phenomena, their experimental observation and photonic devices based on them.
