Nonlinear optics, however, started to grow up only after the invention of the laser, when intense light sources became easily available. The seminal studies by Peter Franken and Nicolaas Bloembergen, in the 1960s, paved the way for the development of today?s nonlinear photonics, the field of research that encompasses all the studies, designs, and implementations of nonlinear optical devices that can be used for the generation, communication, and processing of information. This field has attracted significant attention, partly due to the great potential of exploiting the optical nonlinearities of new or advanced materials to induce new phenomena and achieve new functions. According to Clarivate Web of Science, almost 200,000 papers were published that refer to the topic ?nonlinear optic*?. Over 36,000 papers were published in the last four years (2015?2018) with the same keyword, and over 17,000 used the keyword ?nonlinear photonic*?. The present Special Issue of Micromachines aims at reviewing the current state of the art and presenting perspectives of further development. Fundamental and applicative aspects are considered, with special attention paid to hot topics that may lead to technological and scientific breakthroughs. 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $aGeSn 610 $aquantum dot 610 $aelectric field 610 $aintersubband nonlinear optics 610 $aabsorption coefficients 610 $arefractive index changes 610 $apure state 610 $acascaded spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) 610 $anumerical simulation 610 $atransparent conductive oxide 610 $acoherent perfect absorption 610 $aepsilon-near-zero media 610 $alight-with-light modulation 610 $arefractive index change 610 $anon-linear photonics 610 $aoptical fibers 610 $athermal poling 610 $anumerical analysis 610 $aextrinsic chirality 610 $asecond harmonic generation 610 $aGaAs nanowires 610 $aplasmonic coating 610 $asecond-harmonic generation 610 $awaveguide 610 $aAlGaAs 610 $aoptical frequency combs 610 $aquadratic nonlinearity 610 $aoptical parametric oscillator 610 $amodulation instability 610 $astimulated raman scattering 610 $afiber optics 610 $aamplifiers 610 $alasers 610 $aoptical communication systems 610 $akerr nonlinearity 610 $awhispering gallery mode 610 $aoptical resonators 610 $astimulated brillouin scattering 610 $aoptomechanical oscillations 610 $anonlinear optics 610 $astimulated Raman scattering 610 $amicrophotonics 610 $ananophotonics 610 $anonlinear waveguide 610 $aoptical microcavity 610 $aphotonics crystals 610 $ananocrystals 610 $aoptical resonances 610 $aharmonic generation 610 $afour-wave mixing 610 $aoptical switching 610 $asub-wavelength gratings 610 $aMie scattering 610 $aFano resonances 610 $aguided-mode resonance 610 $aterahertz 610 $anonlinear optical conversion 610 $acomplex optical systems 610 $aadaptive imaging 610 $asingle-pixel imaging 610 $asurface nonlinear photonics 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aSirleto$b Luigi$4edt$01319363 702 $aRighini$b Giancarlo C$4edt 702 $aSirleto$b Luigi$4oth 702 $aRighini$b Giancarlo C$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557759003321 996 $aNonlinear Photonics Devices$93033828 997 $aUNINA
