  2. Nonlinear system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_system

    In mathematics and science, a nonlinear system (or a non-linear system) is a system in which the change of the output is not proportional to the change of the input. [1] [2] Nonlinear problems are of interest to engineers, biologists, [3] [4] [5] physicists, [6] [7] mathematicians, and many other scientists since most systems are inherently nonlinear in nature. [8]

  3. Nonlinear optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_optics

    Recently, many novel directions were proposed for enhanced nonlinearity and light manipulation, including twisted chromophores, combining rich density of states with bond alternation, microscopic cascading of second-order nonlinearity, etc. Due to the distinguished advantages, molecular nonlinear optics have been widely used in the biophotonics ...

  4. Nonlinear control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_control

    Lur'e problem block diagram. An early nonlinear feedback system analysis problem was formulated by A. I. Lur'e.Control systems described by the Lur'e problem have a forward path that is linear and time-invariant, and a feedback path that contains a memory-less, possibly time-varying, static nonlinearity.

  5. Nonlinear system identification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_system...

    System identification is a method of identifying or measuring the mathematical model of a system from measurements of the system inputs and outputs. The applications of system identification include any system where the inputs and outputs can be measured and include industrial processes, control systems, economic data, biology and the life sciences, medicine, social systems and many more.

  6. Nonlinear acoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_acoustics

    Nonlinearity in ultrasonic wave propagation through tissue at larger amplitudes Nonlinear acoustics (NLA) is a branch of physics and acoustics dealing with sound waves of sufficiently large amplitudes.

  7. Z-scan technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-scan_technique

    In nonlinear optics z-scan technique is used to measure the non-linear index n 2 (Kerr nonlinearity) and the non-linear absorption coefficient Δα via the "closed" and "open" methods, respectively. As nonlinear absorption can affect the measurement of the non-linear index, the open method is typically used in conjunction with the closed method ...

  8. Describing function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Describing_function

    Consider feedback around a discontinuous (but piecewise continuous) nonlinearity (e.g., an amplifier with saturation, or an element with deadband effects) cascaded with a slow stable linear system. The continuous region in which the feedback is presented to the nonlinearity depends on the amplitude of the output of the linear system.

  9. Kerr frequency comb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerr_frequency_comb

    In addition to the nonlinearity, the chromatic dispersion of the medium also plays a crucial role for these systems. As a result of the interplay of nonlinearity and dispersion, solitons can form. The most relevant type of solitons for Kerr frequency comb generation are bright dissipative cavity solitons, [ 8 ] [ 9 ] which are sometimes also ...
