Some of Bloembergen's Nonlinear Optical Effects Revisited in Single Micrometer-Sized Droplets

摘要

A droplet provides unique properties to enhance a revisit to some of ProfessorBloembergen's nonlinear optical effects because it acts as a lens to increase the incident intensity and as an optical cavity to provide feedback. All the nonlinear optical effects observed to date in single droplets are reviewed except those related to laser-induced breakdown.
