1/44 Foundation of nonlinear optics I

This lecture presents a tutorial introduction to the field of nonlinear optics. Topics to be addressed include • Introduction to nonlinear optics • Coupled ampitude equations and harmonic generation. • Mechanisms of optical nonlinearity • Self-action effects in nonlinear optics • Local-field effects in nonlinear optics • Slow and fast light • Spontaneous and stimulated light scattering

presented so clearly that I can understand it with only basic physics! well done!

Legendary Robert W. Boyd.. I've been using his book for years now

[@unrealreality5419]

Damn a rare combo! Genius mind and a one who can deliver it well!

[@philippecharbonneau1430]

i am very impressed at your mastery of everything it took to make this so simple to understand.

[@mahfuzulhoque3465]

Amazing lecture with a balanced portion of information. Thanks so much Prof. Boyd for the lecture.

[@Finlaymacnab]

What a treat to find this lecture!

Excellent Lecture by Prof. Boyd

[@sassanmoradi1586]

great guy, great teacher, great lecture.

[@mabdullah3819]

U are awesome dude

[@andonrangelov8844]

Nice talk.

[@yosrihaddad4833]

The best !

[@odeia18]

i read his book before knowing about this lecture, and i always imagined him as such a lovely humble person who is also fun and talks about this subject with joy, and i wasnt wrong. we are so honored for his personality

[@kkm5384]

did you read the entire book? i mean thoroughly.? difficult for me to read after some pages.. because the background knowledge needed is lacking in me. i suppose.

[@kanchisanonthasri7376]

Thank you so much for your kindness ❤

[@giorgixyz1909]

I wish I could know where he's pointing to since whenever he's pointing to something it's not being shown

Bob is the best! Thanks!

[@nathanroche7908]

Excellent.

What do you use as a "phase conjugate mirror" sir? A Prism?

[@kaamutsupsungkaksem9181]

Imperial college London PCA lecture of Dr Donna Strickland bring me here

[@naimrozali4654]

where i can get the lecture notes?

[@ambarshukla4389]

At 34:16 in equation 3, I don't understand why P2 is expressed in terms of E1?

[@shanedevlin3752]

P2 (the induced second order polarization) is proportional to chi-2 and the square of the electric field. The electric field we are considering is that from the laser source, which is E1.

[@jacobvandijk6525]

@ 4:36 We only see that two laser beams are converted by a crystal in four laser beams. Without the crystal it does not happen. So scattering is not demonstrated here ... "in front of your eyes".

Father of nonlinear optics...

Boyd is a scientific god.

Hello sir welcome

[@kkm5384]

video presentation, is not comfortable, barbecue the laser pointer is not visible (i know technically the content is different screen than actual screen with laser pointer)

[@BlastinRope]

whatever nerd lmao
