A standard digital camera used in a car for stuff like emergency braking has a perceptual latency of a hair above 20 milliseconds. That’s just the time needed for a camera to transform the photons ...

Simulating the nonlinear optical physics that underlies ultrafast laser systems is computationally demanding—a practical bottleneck in settings that require rapid feedback. A study by researchers at ...

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 ...

"Our nonlinear system transmits quantum information with 94% fidelity, compared to the theoretical limit of 33% on systems using linear optical components," said Kejie Fang, an Illinois professor of ...

Nonlinear optics describes the regime in which the response of a material to an applied electromagnetic field depends nonlinearly on the field amplitude. Whereas in linear optics the induced ...

Materials scientists can learn a lot about a sample material by shooting lasers at it. With nonlinear optical microscopy—a specialized imaging technique that looks for a change in the color of intense ...
