Flack parameter — In X ray crystallography, the Flack parameter is a factor used to estimate the absolute configuration of a structural model determined by single crystal structure analysis.In this approach, one determines the absolute structure of a… … Wikipedia
Surface second harmonic generation — is a method for probing interfaces in atomic and molecular systems. In second harmonic generation (SHG), the light frequency is doubled, essentially converting two photons of the original beam of energy E into a single photon of energy 2 E as it… … Wikipedia
Optical amplifier — An optical amplifier is a device that amplifies an optical signal directly, without the need to first convert it to an electrical signal. An optical amplifier may be thought of as a laser without an optical cavity, or one in which feedback from… … Wikipedia
Pockels effect — The Pockels effect, or Pockels electro optic effect, produces birefringence in an optical medium induced by a constant or varying electric field. It is distinguished from the Kerr effect by the fact that the birefringence is proportional to the… … Wikipedia
Kerr effect — This article is about the Kerr nonlinear optical effect. For the magneto optic phenomenon of the same name, see magneto optic Kerr effect. The Kerr effect, also called the quadratic electro optic effect (QEO effect), is a change in the refractive … Wikipedia
Second harmonic imaging microscopy — (SHIM) is based on a nonlinear optical effect known as second harmonic generation (SHG). SHIM has been established as a viable microscope imaging contrast mechanism for visualization of cell and tissue structure and function. A second harmonic… … Wikipedia
