  • $TiO_2$films of rutile and anatase phase have been prepared on silica glass substrates by the sol-gel method using $Ti(i-OC_3H_7)_4$. The effect of additives on the polymorph of $TiO_2$film has been examined in view of degree of crystallization. Third-order nonlinear optical properties of the both film have been investigated by the third harmonic generation method. The measured 3rd order nonlinear optical susceptibility of rutile and anatase thin films were about $1.4{\times}10^{-12}$ and $9.7{\times}10^{-13}$ esu, respectively.

  • A theoretical study of Brillouin optical time domain analysis (BOTDA) using two pulse lasers is performed. Even though a point detection is made for a pump pulse period, the dynamic range of BOTDA using two pulse lasers is approximately 5 dB more than that of a pulse and a CW laser when the fiber length is 140 km and the Stokes power is 1 mW.

  • The effect of eccentricity on dispersion and nonlinear properties of a photonic crystal fiber having elliptical air holes is investigated using a fully vectorial effective index method. It is found that the effective refractive index increases with increase of eccentricity. The dependence of dispersion and nonlinear properties of the PCF on the eccentricity of the air hole is investigated. It is revealed that eccentricity of the air hole affects the zero dispersion wavelength. Further, the nonlinear properties such as mode field area, nonlinear coefficient and self phase modulation of the Photonic crystal fibers are analyzed. The mode field area increases and the nonlinear coefficient decreases with increase in eccentricity. The variation of the self phase modulation with elliptical air hole is also discussed.

  • The anomalous propagation characteristics of a single Airy beam in nonlocal nonlinear medium are investigated by utilizing the split-step Fourier-transform method. We show that besides the normal straight propagation trajectory, the breathing solitons formed by the interaction between Airy beam and nonlocal nonlinear medium can propagate along the sinusoidal trajectory, and the anomalous trajectory can be modulated arbitrarily by altering the initial amplitude and the nonlocal nonlinear coefficient. In addition, the initial amplitude and the nonlocal nonlinear coefficient can have inverse impacts on the formation and transformation of the equilibrium state of spatial solitons, when the two parameters are larger than certain values. Therefore, the reversible transformation of the evolution dynamics of two soliton states can be realized by adjusting those two parameters properly. Finally, it is shown that the propagation properties of the solitons formed by the interaction between Airy beam and nonlocal nonlinear medium can be controlled arbitrarily, by adjusting the distribution factor and nonlocal coefficient.

  • We present one-color nonlinear wavepacket interferometry (WPI) signal calculations for a system of two electronic levels and one vibrational degree of freedom. We consider two cases, a displaced harmonic oscillator system, which can be treated analytically, and a model photodissociative system, whose WPI signal must be calculated by numerical wavepacket propagation. We show how signals obtained with different combinations of intrapulse-pair phase shifts can be combined to isolate the complex-valued overlap between a given onepulse target wavepacket and a variable three-pulse reference wavepacket. We demonstrate that with a range of inter- and intrapulse-pair delays the complex overlaps and variable reference states can be used to reconstruct the target wavepacket. We compare our results with previous methods for vibronic state reconstruction based on linear WPI and discuss further generalizations of our method.

  • Third harmonic generation microscopy is described in the frame work of the theory of harmonic generation with Gaussian focused beams inside a bulk material as well as at the vicinity of an interface. This model is then applied to characterize different types of materials in terms of electronic third-order susceptibility. Examples of bulk glasses, poled glasses, laser-induced modifications in glasses and nanoparticles in solution are given in order to give a survey of the broad application field of THG microscopy in material characterization.
