The field of nonlinear optics, which has undergone a very rapid
development since the discovery of lasers in the early sixties,
continues to be an active and rapidly developing - search area. The
interest is mainly due to the potential applications of nonlinear
optics: - rectly in telecommunications for high rate data
transmission, image processing and recognition or indirectly from
the possibility of obtaining large wavelength range tuneable lasers
for applications in industry, medicine, biology, data storage and
retrieval, etc. New phenomena and materials continue to appear
regularly, renewing the field. This has proven to be especially
true over the last five years. New materials such as organics have
been developed with very large second- and third-order nonlinear
optical responses. Imp- tant developments in the areas of
photorefractivity, all optical phenomena, frequency conv- sion and
electro-optics have been observed. In parallel, a number of new
phenomena have been reported, some of them challenging the
previously held concepts. For example, solitons based on
second-order nonlinearities have been observed in photorefractive
materials and frequency doubling crystals, destroying the
perception that third order nonlinearities are - quired for their
generation and propagation. New ways of creating and manipulating
nonl- ear optical materials have been developed. An example is the
creation of highly nonlinear (second-order active) polymers by
static electric field, photo-assisted or all-optical poling.
Nonlinear optics involves, by definition, the product of
electromagnetic fields. As a con- quence, it leads to the beam
control.
