Researchers at the Institute for Molecular Science (NINS, Japan) and SOKENDAI have demonstrated a more than 2000% voltage-induced enhancement of near-field nonlinear optical responses. To achieve this ...

Conventional nanoscale electroplasmonic structures provide limited electrical tunability of nonlinear optical responses. Scientists at Japan's Institute for Molecular Science have demonstrated an ...

In a recent article published in the journal Light: Science & Applications, researchers explored a fundamental but often overlooked area of optical science: how spatial coherence can be controlled and ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 – ...
