Researchers at the Institute for Molecular Science (NINS, Japan) and SOKENDAI have demonstrated a more than 2000% voltage-induced enhancement of near-field nonlinear optical responses. To achieve this ...

Nonlinear optics is the branch of photonics that studies material responses wherein the induced polarisation is not directly proportional to the applied electromagnetic field. In these media, intense ...

Vacuum ultraviolet (VUV, 100–200 nm) light sources are indispensable for advanced spectroscopy, quantum research, and ...

Nonlinear optical crystals are at the forefront of advanced photonic technologies, enabling efficient frequency conversion and modulation of light by utilising intense electric fields to alter their ...

Nonlinear optics has long relied on high-power lasers, whose spatial and temporal coherence ensures efficient nonlinear frequency conversion. However, a new study challenges the traditional assumption ...

A recent article in Advanced Materials reports a new fabrication method for nonlinear optical components using nanostructured polycrystalline lithium niobate (LN). The study addresses key limitations ...

Conventional nanoscale electroplasmonic structures provide limited electrical tunability of nonlinear optical responses. Scientists at Japan's Institute for Molecular Science have demonstrated an ...

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 – ...

Organic Non-Linear Optical (NLO) Materials have emerged as a promising field of study within the realm of chemistry. These materials possess unique optical properties that enable the manipulation and ...

We haven’t seen any projects from serial experimenter [Les Wright] for quite a while, and honestly, we were getting a little worried about that. Turns out we needn’t have fretted, as [Les] was deep ...

This optical supercell traps sunlight, then amplifies its intensity up to 6,000×, creating a light surge scientists compare to thousands of panels ...

You wouldn’t think that shaking something in just the right way would be the recipe for creating laser light, but as [Les Wright] explains in his new video, that’s pretty much how his DIY Raman laser ...
