This Colloquium presents an overview of the research on nonlinear electromagnetic
metamaterials. The developed theoretical approaches and experimental designs are …

The field of nonlinear optics continues to evolve and impact many fields and particularly has
promising applications in the biomedical field. Furthermore, a major application, all-optical …

We report on the demonstration of ultrafast optical reversal of the ferroelectric polarization in
LiNbO 3. Rather than driving the ferroelectric mode directly, we couple to it indirectly by …

We experimentally demonstrate efficient third harmonic generation from an indium tin oxide
nanofilm (λ/42 thick) on a glass substrate for a pump wavelength of 1.4 μm. A conversion …

Chalcogenide photonics offers unique solutions for a broad range of applications from mid-
infrared sensing to integrated, ultrafast, ultrahigh-bandwidth signal processing. However, to …

Nonlinear optics focuses on the phenomena that arise when intense light interacts with
matter. At low intensities, optical response of a material scales linearly with the amplitude of …

We solve a system of generalized nonlinear Schr¨ odinger equations to study the nonlinear
dynamics of ultrashort pulse propagation in multimode fibers. Due to pulse walk-off …

We report on the generation of ultrabroadband supercontinuum (SC) by filamentation of two
optical-cycle, carrier-envelope phase-stable pulses at 2 μm in fused silica, sapphire, CaF_2 …

Optical fibres have been developed as an ideal medium for the delivery of optical pulses
ever since their inception (Kao & Hockham, 1966). Much of that development has been …

Dramatic advances in supercontinuum generation have been made recently using photonic
crystal fibers, but it is quite challenging to obtain an octave-spanning supercontinuum on a …
