Abstract
The field of nonlinear optics, which began with the seminal work of FRANKEN, HILL, PETERS, and WEINREICH [1] in 1961, has now grown to a mature technology. The earlier work centered on the use of ruby (694.3 nm) and Nd (1.06 μm) lasers, since these sources readily provided the optical intensities necessary for the observation of nonlinear phenomena in a wide variety of materials. These effects included second harmonic generation [2], self-focusing [3], and coherent effects [4]. In addition, new spectroscopic advances with dye lasers have extended nonlinear techniques to high resolution spectroscopic studies [5].
