Nonlinear optical dynamics, which refers to the intensity-dependent response of light upon interaction with materials under high-intensity light sources, are of huge significance in modern photonics.
Researchers have found applications in fields ranging from lasers, amplifiers, modulators, and sensors to the study of topics including quantum optics, nonlinear system dynamics, as well as light-matter interactions.
Scientists have also made significant strides in the understanding of the interactions of free electrons with light in electron microscopy, with a focus on coupling free electrons with nonlinear optical states in integrated photonic microresonators.
Nonlinear optical dynamics... are of huge significance in modern photonics.
