We review dispersion relations, which relate the real part of the optical susceptibility
(refraction) to the imaginary part (absorption). We derive and discuss these relations as …

Semiconductors provide some of the most promising materials for nonlinear optics, because
of large resonant nonlinearities, control of recombination time (from milliseconds to …

Many information processing challenges are difficult to solve with traditional Turing or von
Neumann approaches. Implementing unconventional computational methods is therefore …

The book being reviewed is devoted to the rapidly developing in recent years section of
nonlinear optics and applied quantum electronics—the selfactions and interactions of light …

A two-hand model is used to calculate the scaling and spectrum of the nondegenerate
nonlinear absorption. From this, the bound electronic nonlinear refractive index n/sub 2/is …

Gives a broad description of optical bistability: from practical applications, as an optical
transistor or optical memory element, to its phase transition interpretation. The theory is …

By use of an expansion in Gaussian functions we solve the problem of the propagation of a
laser beam that has been passed through a thin slab of nonlinearly refracting material. We …

We report the observation of optical stability for a plane parallel semiconductor crystal which
forms a Fabry‐Perot interferometer using only the natural reflectivity of its surfaces …

This paper presents new results and reviews the latest state of research in all-optical
nonlinear logic switches, amplifiers, and memories. Optical circuit elements that perform the …

In this article active non-linear optical effects in semiconductors are reviewed. These
processes arise because of the dynamics of excited populations of charge carriers …
