  2. High harmonic generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Harmonic_Generation

    High harmonic generation strongly depends on the driving laser field and as a result the harmonics have similar temporal and spatial coherence properties. [10] High harmonics are often generated with pulse durations shorter than that of the driving laser. [11] This is due to the nonlinearity of the generation process, phase matching and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonant_high_harmonic...

    The energy of this transition corresponds to 17th harmonic with 800 nm excitation wavelength. Similarly, in Indium, there exists a strong transition 4d 10 5s 2 → 4d 9 5s 2 5p at 19.92 eV with a high gf value of 1.11. [10] The energy of this transition corresponds to 13th harmonic with 800 nm excitation wavelength.

  4. Harmonic generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_generation

    N-th harmonic generation. Harmonic generation (HG, also called multiple harmonic generation) is a nonlinear optical process in which photons with the same frequency interact with a nonlinear material, are "combined", and generate a new photon with times the energy of the initial photons (equivalently, times the frequency and the wavelength divided by ).

  5. Nonlinear optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_optics

    The first nonlinear optical effect to be predicted was two-photon absorption, by Maria Goeppert Mayer for her PhD in 1931, but it remained an unexplored theoretical curiosity until 1961 and the almost simultaneous observation of two-photon absorption at Bell Labs [4] and the discovery of second-harmonic generation by Peter Franken et al. at University of Michigan, both shortly after the ...

  6. Maxwell's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell's_equations

    For homogeneous materials, ε and μ are constant throughout the material, while for inhomogeneous materials they depend on location within the material (and perhaps time). [16]: 463 For isotropic materials, ε and μ are scalars, while for anisotropic materials (e.g. due to crystal structure) they are tensors. [15]: 421 [16]: 463

  7. Frequency comb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_comb

    A frequency comb or spectral comb is a spectrum made of discrete and regularly spaced spectral lines.In optics, a frequency comb can be generated by certain laser sources.. A number of mechanisms exist for obtaining an optical frequency comb, including periodic modulation (in amplitude and/or phase) of a continuous-wave laser, four-wave mixing in nonlinear media, or stabilization of the pulse ...

  8. Molecular vibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_vibration

    A molecular vibration is a periodic motion of the atoms of a molecule relative to each other, such that the center of mass of the molecule remains unchanged. The typical vibrational frequencies range from less than 10 13 Hz to approximately 10 14 Hz, corresponding to wavenumbers of approximately 300 to 3000 cm −1 and wavelengths of approximately 30 to 3 μm.

  9. Spectral line shape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_line_shape

    Absorption spectrum of an aqueous solution of potassium permanganate.The spectrum consists of a series of overlapping lines belonging to a vibronic progression. Spectral line shape or spectral line profile describes the form of an electromagnetic spectrum in the vicinity of a spectral line – a region of stronger or weaker intensity in the spectrum.
