DESCRIPTION:Nonlinear optics (NLO) is one of the most fascinating fields of
  modern physics. It deals with light-matter interactions at extreme electr
 o-magnetic field strengths. Such fields are today routinely available than
 ks to laser technology. NLO started with the observation of second harmoni
 c generation from a ruby laser in 1961\, just 1 year after the first laser
  was operated. It allows producing optical pulses with durations in the fe
 mtosecond (fs\, 10<sup>-15</sup> s) and even attosecond (as\, 10<sup>-18</
 sup> s) order. With such sources\, one can observe chemical reactions\, ph
 ysical and biological phenomena in real time. During the lectures\, I will
  give a short overview of NLO. I will discuss the main physical phenomena 
 (second harmonic generation\, optical parametric amplification\, differenc
 e and sum frequency generation\, white light generation\, third harmonic g
 eneration\, high harmonic generation…) and some of their applications\, 
 and conclude with the newest trends of research like coherent pulse synthe
 sis.\nVortragender: Giovanni Cirmi
