This survey will include progress in the third-order nonlinear properties of semiconductors, polymers and glasses and examples of their applications to devices. Also discussed will be 'cascading', a second-order nonlinearity-based approach to all-optical effects.FootnotesThis text was harvested from a scanned image of the original document using optical character recognition (OCR) software.
