Travelling Wave Analysis of Nonlinear Maxwell Models with Applications to Nonlinear Optics

Creator:

Langlie, Noah

Abstract:

In 1877 John Kerr described an experiment that demonstrated a quadratic change in refractive index in a plate glass placed in a strong external electric field. This results in a nonlinear relationship between the average electric polarization within the materials and the intensity of the applied electric field. This opened...
