We introduce the index ellipsoid and show how it can be used to find the indices of refraction for light propagating in a crystal in an arbitrary direction.

Ultrafast optics

We look at the third order nonlinear effect and uses for Kerr lenses.

4 wave mixing

We use coupled mode analysis to investigate the field amplitudes in three wave mixing, and look at the effect of phase mismatch on the conversion efficiency of nonlinear processes.

Nonlinear Wave Equation

We look at the phase matching condition for Second Harmonic Generation and also do a tuning curve example for an OPO
