Modern life runs on light. Fiber-optic cables move data across continents, lasers guide surgeries, and photons sit at the ...

Schematics of the all-optical nonlinear Compton scattering experiment showing laser-driven electron acceleration, electron-laser collision, and Compton scattering to produce gamma rays. In a ...

Science X is a network of high quality websites with most complete and comprehensive daily coverage of the full sweep of ...

The nonlinear susceptibility is a measure of a material's nonlinear response to an applied electric field. It determines the strength of the nonlinear effects and is related to the crystal's symmetry ...

Scientists at Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden, have for the first time succeeded in combining two major research fields in photonics by creating a nanoobject with special optical ...

We haven’t seen any projects from serial experimenter [Les Wright] for quite a while, and honestly, we were getting a little worried about that. Turns out we needn’t have fretted, as [Les] was deep ...

When light passes through a material, it often behaves in unpredictable ways. This phenomenon is the subject of “nonlinear optics”, which is now integral to technological and scientific advances – ...
