Non-linear optical properties of condensed matter

Abstract: This article reviews the non-linear optical properties of condensed matter. The non-linear optical susceptibilities are first introduced in a phenomenological manner and the effects they describe are presented on general grounds. Then the symmetry aspects of non-linear optics are discussed. 'The propagation of electromagnetic fields in non-linear media are considered and the device applications they result in are described. Finally, the origins of the non-linear optical behaviour of matter, either in the trans… Show more

“…TABLE- Non-linear optical (NLO) properties: The non-linear optical (NLO) effects arise from the interactions of electromagnetic fields in various media to produce new fields altered in frequency, amplitude, phase or other propagation characteristics from the incident fields. Non-linear optical is at the forefront of present research because of its importance in providing the key functions of optical modulation, frequency shifting, optical switching, optical logic and optical memory for promising technologies in the areas such as signal processing, telecommunications and optical interconnections [30][31][32][33]. The dipole moment (µ), polarizability (α) and second-order polarizability or the first hyperpolarizability (β), are calculated using DFT with 6-31+G(d,p) and 6-311++G (d,p) basis sets on the basis of the finite-field approach.…”

“…Such materials find application in technologies such as optical computing and optical communication [2,3]. Recently, much focus has been given to organic NLO materials for applications in field of photonics [4] due to their large nonlinear response, good optical limiting behavior, fast switching time, and convenient optimization routes through molecular design compared to the currently used inorganic materials [5]. Chalcone derivatives are one of the interesting groups of materials as they are exhibiting high NLO coefficients and good crystallizability [6].…”

“…(Phillips, 1968;Phillips & Van Vechten, 1969;Van Vechten, 1969) and the bond-charge model (Levine, 1973a, b) are the basis of numerous calculations of diverse optical phenomena (see e.g. Chemla, 1980;Shih Chun-Ching & Yariv, 1982;Tsirelson, Korolkova, Rez & Ozerov, 1984;Kucharczyk, 1987a;Sangwal & Kucharczyk, 1987). The starting point for all the calculations is Penn's nearly-free-electron model of the dielectric constant at long wavelengths (Penn, 1962) …”
