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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 – ...
