In contemporary years one has witnessed in physics a considerable raise in curiosity in engaging in primary experiences within the nonlinear optics of condensed topic. on the Danish universities, this raise has been particularly mentioned on the Institute of Physics on the collage of Aalborg, the place the most actions are headquartered round basic learn in the domain names of nonlinear quantum optics, nonlinear optics of metals and superconductors, and nonlinear floor optics. In attractiveness of this it was once determined to rearrange the 1st overseas summer time institution on nonlinear optics in Denmark on the Institute of Physics on the collage of Aalborg. This e-book is predicated at the lectures and contributed papers provided at this overseas summer season college, which was once held within the interval 31 July-4 Au­ gust 1989. approximately 60 skilled and more youthful scientists from 12 diversified nations participated. Twenty-eight lectures got via 14 distinctive scientists from the us, Italy, France, Germany, Scotland, England, and Denmark. as well as the lectures given by way of the invited audio system, eleven contributed papers have been awarded. The programme of the summer season tuition em­ phasized a remedy of simple actual houses of the nonlinear interplay of sunshine and condensed topic and either theoretical and experimental points have been lined. additionally, basic rules in addition to themes of present curiosity within the learn literature have been discussed.

The SP dispersion relation is given by ro~ l+e ksp(ro) =c (30) where kSp is the longitudinal wavevector amplitude of the SP. o/c. The SP wavevector amplitude is then larger than the one of an incident plane wave in the vacuum. As for every guided wave, it means that it is impossible to directly excite a SP with a parallel light beam. tical excitation of SP The use of an optical coupler allows one to match the longitudinal wavevectors of the incident wave and of the SP. Two kinds of couplers are used in practice: prism couplers (also often called attenuated total reflex ion (AlR) devices) and diffraction gratings.

We prepare a quantum superposition of the states of the resonator modes by sending a two-level atom initially in its excited state Ia) through the cavities. and measuring its state as it exits the second cavity. For times such that cavity damping can be ignored the following result holds: if the atom is measured to exit the second cavity in the lower state Ib). then the cavities are left in the coherent superposition [7] 31 11/1) = pi 1,0) + qlO,1) , (24) where p and q depend on controllable experimental parameters such as frequency and interaction time.

Of course, this EM origin of the enhancement could be used to amplify any NL surface effects. Among them, SHG is of great interest, because the enhancement of this effect is only of EM origin. In the 80's, considerable work has been devoted to the study of enhanced SHG at a metal surface. Three kinds of couplers have been used to enhance SHG at a metal surface: as written above, the prism coupler by 44 Springer Series in Wave Phenomena, Vol. Keller © Springer-Verlag Berlin, Heidelberg 1990 Simon et al.
