Comparing a traditional academic career path or BSD ('Big Shining Doctorate') with the real-life careers of four investigators. In a new perspective article, the four argue for more recognition of non ...

Researchers used the nonlinear optical response of atom-like defects in a diamond to build a tiny thermometer. This research may lead to temperature sensors that can work inside living cells and other ...

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 ...

A research team has discovered a surprising phenomenon that could revolutionize how we think about signal amplification. Just two tiny vibrating units can, when connected with a delay, amplify their ...

Schematic of the nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM) configuration incorporating a tapered Ho:ZBLAN photonic crystal fiber. The setup shows counter-propagating pulses within the loop, nonlinear phase ...

The nonlinear scattering medium, as shown in (a), exhibits scattering and nonlinear modulation through nonlinear nanoparticles, making its response impossible to characterize using conventional linear ...
