Nonlinear photonics concerns the propagation of light in photonics structures, such as optical waveguides, in the presence of significant nonlinear optical effects such as second harmonic generation, difference frequency mixing, four-wave mixing, self-phase modulation, stimulated Raman scattering and a host of other phenomena that derive from a nonlinear response of a medium to applied optical and electrical fields.
TechnologyAn inclusive term covering all types of constrained optimization problems except those where the objective function and the constraints are all linear. Special types of nonlinear programming for which some theory has been developed are convex programming, concave programming, and quadratic programming.
