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 ...

Lithium niobate crystals have long been at the forefront of photonic research due to their exceptional nonlinear optical, electro‐optic and piezoelectric properties. These materials exhibit an ...

Light Publishing Center, Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics And Physics, CAS In a new paper published in Light Science & Application, Lei Kang and Zheshuai Lin from Technical Institute of ...

Here’s an exercise for you: type “crystals” into your favorite search engine and see what you get. If you’re anything like us, you’ll get a bunch of pseudoscientific posts about the healing power of ...

In January, a team led by Jim Schuck, professor of mechanical engineering at Columbia Engineering, developed a method for creating entangled photon pairs, a critical component of emerging quantum ...

Operational temperature stability is critical for many applications with nonlinear optical crystals. Some of the most common nonlinear optical materials are hygroscopic, and an elevated operation ...
