This lecture note is intended to provide theoretical background to
understand and predict a host of optical phenomena that become possible when
nonlinearity in the optical response of a material is included in the
description. It includes a detailed description of several of these phenomena,
their experimental observation and photonic devices based on them.
Rapid development of optoelectronic devices and laser techniques poses
an important task of creating and studying, from one side, the structures
capable of effectively converting, modulating, and recording optical data in a
wide range of radiation energy densities and frequencies, from another side, the
new schemes and approaches capable to activate and simulate the modern features.
Topics covered includes: Stimulated Raman Scattering in Quantum Dots and
Nanocomposite Silicon Based Materials, Reflection and Transmission of a Plane
TE-Wave at a Lossy, Saturating, Nonlinear Dielectric Film, Nonlinear
Ellipsometry by Second Harmonic Generation, Stimulated Raman Scattering in
Quantum Dots and Nanocomposite Silicon Based Materials, Nonlinear Ellipsometry
by Second Harmonic Generation, Donor-Acceptor Conjugated Polymers and Their
Nanocomposites for Photonic Applications.
The main goal of this note is to introduce engineers to the characteristics
of light that can be used to accomplish a variety of engineering tasks
especially in mechanical analysis at macro and micro scales. Topics covered
includes: Geometric Optics and Electromagnetic wave Theory Introduction to Light
sources and photodetectors Geometric Moire: In-plane displacement measurement
and out of plane displacement measurement, Geometric Moire, Moire Interferometry:
Interference and Diffraction, Grating fabrication, Moire Interferometry:

This curriculum was originally developed for a
senior-level optics course in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Brigham
Young University. Topics are addressed froma physics perspective and include the
propagation of light in matter, reflection and transmission at boundaries,
polarization effects, dispersion, coherence, ray optics and imaging,
diffraction, and the quantumnature of light. Students using this book should be
familiar with differentiation, integration, and standard trigonometric and
algebraic manipulation.
