Schematics of the all-optical nonlinear Compton scattering experiment showing laser-driven electron acceleration, electron-laser collision, and Compton scattering to produce gamma rays. In a ...

When light passes through a material, it often behaves in unpredictable ways. This phenomenon is the subject of “nonlinear optics”, which is now integral to technological and scientific advances – ...

The nonlinear susceptibility is a measure of a material's nonlinear response to an applied electric field. It determines the strength of the nonlinear effects and is related to the crystal's symmetry ...

Scientists at Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden, have for the first time succeeded in combining two major research fields in photonics by creating a nanoobject with special optical ...

Research shows that external impulses in non-reciprocal optical solitary waves can exceed expected momentum responses, ...
