Quantum optics is the study of how individual quanta of light, known as photons, interact with atoms and molecules. This includes studying the particle-like properties of photons. Photons have ...

Nonlinear optics is the study of how intense light interacts with matter. The optical response of a material usually scales linearly with the amplitude of the electric field. At high powers ...

Abstract: The theory of the diffraction grating pair is developed by expanding the frequency dependence of the phase shift as far as the quadratic frequency term. The analogy between pulse compression ...
