- How to turn a red beam of light into blue?
- How to 3D-print with precision 100 times finer than the width of a human hair?
- How to create elementary particles of light, one by one or in pairs?
- How to make computers and the Internet of the future faster, safer, and greener?
- How to measure temperature, analyze the material composition, and peek inside an object – all without touching it?
We do it with nonlinear optics. We work in a special regime when interactions between light and matter cannot neatly fit on a line, hence the term “nonlinear.”
