In these the nonlinearity mainly arises from second-order or third-order nonlinear optical processes. A restriction is that second-order processes only occur in media that do not possess a centre of symmetry. Optical fibres, on the other hand, being made of silica glass, created by fusing SiO molecules, are made of material with a centre of z symmetry, so the bulk of all processes are governed by third-order nonlinearity. Indeed, optical fibre nonlinearities have been extensively studied for the last thirty years and can be truly hailed as a success story of nonlinear optics. In fact, the fabrication ofsuch fibres, and the exploitation oftheir nonlinearity, is in an advanced stage - not least being their capacity to sustain envelope solitons. What then ofsecond-order nonlinearity? This is also well-known for its connection to second-harmonic generation. It is an immediate concern, however, to understand how waves can mix and conserve both energy and momentum ofthe photons involved. The problem is that the wave vectors cannot be made to match without a great deal of effort, or at least some clever arrangement has to be made - a special geometry, or crystal arrangement. The whole business is called phase­ matching and an inspection ofthe state-of-the-art today, reveals the subject to be in an advanced state. 410 0$aNATO Science Partnership Subseries: 3, High Technology ;$v61 606 $aElectrodynamics 606 $aLasers 606 $aMaterials$xAnalysis 606 $aMathematics 606 $aClassical Electrodynamics 606 $aLaser 606 $aCharacterization and Analytical Technique 606 $aApplications of Mathematics 615 0$aElectrodynamics. 615 0$aLasers. 615 0$aMaterials$xAnalysis. 615 0$aMathematics. 615 14$aClassical Electrodynamics. 615 24$aLaser. 615 24$aCharacterization and Analytical Technique. 615 24$aApplications of Mathematics. 676 $a535.2 676 $a537.6 702 $aBoardman$b A.D$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aPavlov$b L.$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aTanev$b S.$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 712 02$aNorth Atlantic Treaty Organization.$bScientific Affairs Division. 712 12$aNATO Advanced Study Institute on Advanced Photonics with Second-Order Optically Nonlinear Processes$f(1997 :$eSozopol, Bulgaria) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974887803321 996 $aAdvanced Photonics with Second-Order Optically Nonlinear Processes$94412692 997 $aUNINA
