Course Information

Professor: Dr. Chip Durfee

Office: Meyer Hall 330

Meeting Times and Location: Meyer Hall 357: Tuesday, Thursday 11:00-12:15

Announcements

12 Jan: Homework 1 is posted below. Please read the ground rules and let me know what your groups are. Notes from first lecture posted. Please register for the Forum area if you aren't already.

9 Jan: Welcome to the new Wiki page for Nonlinear Optics! The syllabus is posted below.

Office hours

Monday 2-5pm. two other hours TBD: let me know your preferences soon...

Course Forum, Supplementary Readings, Homework Solutions

open to class members only (auditors ok). If you aren't registered for the forum, follow the directions to register, email me your user name, and I'll put you on the list. Protected Documents for Nonlinear Optics

You may want to open this in a new tab or browser window to keep access to the wiki page.

Course Material

Syllabus and Reading List

Syllabus for the course

Homework Assignments

Ground rules: work in groups of 3. Email me to let me know what the groups are. If you would like some help finding partners, let me know. Turn in one homework set per group. Everyone in the group gets the same grade. What you turn in must be neat, and written with an appreciation that an actual person (me) has to read and understand it. Midterms and projects will be solo, so you will each need to know the material. If anyone has any concerns about this system, please let me know.

Mathematica Demos

These aren't actually pdf's. Do a "save link as" to save these to your computer, then open with Mathematica.

Links to literature in nonlinear optics

Each one of you should add references you think would be of general interest to this list - a minimum of one every other week.

Click 'edit' at the right to add references. Include a short description, make a new category if it makes sense. Links only - don't upload actual pdf's please. Put your last name and posting date along with the citation.

Feel free to add to the list of database and journal sites

Database pages

Use these to go to papers where you know the reference, or for searching for related papers

Scitation: American Institute of Physics journals search

Optics Infobase: Optical Society of America journal search

Web of Science: Science Citation index. The best resource for finding papers that are related to each other.

Google Scholar

Journal pages

You can go to these to browse current issues or to look up specific references. Journals in bold are (mostly European journals) not indexed through Scitation or Optics Infobase

Optics Letters

Applied Optics

Applied Physics B

Journal of Physics B

Optics Communications

Journal Articles

Development of the theory, historical

Midwinter et al, British J. Applied Phys v16 p1135 (1965) "The effects of phase matching method and of uniaxial crystal symmetry on the polar distribution of second-order non-linear optical polarization" Derivation of the variation of dEff in nonlinear crystals with beam direction. (Durfee 1/12/2007) Midwinter (1965)

Current Research

Other course Links

JavaOptics: a nice collection of optics-related demonstrations

Lectures from GaTech (Rick Trebino): a very useful collection of graphics and worked examples in optics. One of the courses he has taught is in ultrafast optics - relevant for this course.

Fabry-Perot demonstration

Falstad.com: some nice optics demos
