Nonlinear optics is a branch of optics that deals with the interaction of intense light with matter, and the resulting nonlinear phenomena. Nonlinear optics has a wide range of applications in telecommunications, laser technology, and biomedical imaging. Nonlinear optics researchers study the fundamental properties of nonlinear optical materials and devices, and develop new applications for nonlinear optics.
Education and Training
Nonlinear optics researchers typically have a PhD in physics, optics, or a related field. Coursework in nonlinear optics, quantum mechanics, and electromagnetism is essential. Nonlinear optics researchers should also have a strong background in mathematics, including calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations. Some nonlinear optics researchers also have experience in computer programming.
