Polaritonics — is an intermediate regime between photonics and sub microwave electronics (see Fig. 1). In this regime, signals are carried by an admixture of electromagnetic and lattice vibrational waves known as phonon polaritons, rather than currents or… … Wikipedia

Polariton — In physics, polaritons are quasiparticles resulting from strong coupling of electromagnetic waves with an electric or magnetic dipole carrying excitation. They are an expression of the common quantum phenomenon known as level repulsion, also… … Wikipedia
Optical rectification — Electro optic rectification (EOR) (also referred to as optical rectification) is a non linear optical process which consists in the generation of a quasi DC polarization in a non linear medium at the passage of an intense optical beam. For… … Wikipedia
