Requirements

Graded homework (40%), examination (60%)

Learning outcomes

After taking this course, the student is able to analyze second- and third-order nonlinear optical responses of materials using symmetry principles. The student is able to apply these principles to phenomena based on frequency conversion, electro-optic effect, nonlinear index of refraction, and four-wave mixing. The student is also able to describe ultrafast nonlinear propagation dynamics of ultra-short pulses in waveguides in the presence of dispersion including self-phase modulation, soliton propagation and stimulated Raman scattering.

1. Susceptibility tensors     
2. Symmetry principles     
3. Propagation of ultrafast pulses     

Evaluation criteria for the course

Homework (40%) and final examination (60%). Full homework points alone will give a passing grade (1). About half of the homework points and excellent performance in the exam will give the highest grade (5).

Assessment scale:

Numerical evaluation scale (1-5) will be used on the course
