• Scientists Develop New Analysis Method of Non-Linear Optical Properties

  …s of measuring the parameters of objects. Methods based on non-linear optical effects, such as two-photon excitation, are already being used today to visualize and study certain biological objects. But all these effects are resonant; based on absorption of radiation. In the study published in Optical Letters, the authors consider the parameters of a non-resonant n…
