Quantum networks are likely to have a profound impact on the way we compute and
communicate in the future. In order to wire together superconducting quantum processors …

We present a Raman scattering study of wurtzite ZnO over a temperature range from 80 to
750 K. Second-order Raman features are interpreted in the light of recent ab initio phonon …

Organic Nonlinear Optical Materials provides an extensive description of the preparation
and characterization of organic materials for applications in nonlinear and electro-optics …

In its 60 years of existence, the field of nonlinear optics has gained momentum especially
over the past two decades thanks to major breakthroughs in material science and …

Photorefractive materials combine photoconductive and electro-optic properties: light affects
their electrical conductivity; their optical properties (refractive index, etc.) are affected by …

Light-induced charge transport processes are essential for photorefractive effects in
electrooptic crystals. Charge driving forces, charge transport models and experimental …

Thin-film lithium niobate is an attractive integrated photonics platform due to its low optical
