This doctoral level course will present an overview of nonlinear optical effects in waveguides. It includes:
- The review of properties of waveguides and the presentation of the difference sources of optical nonlinearites
- Putting in place basics behing light matter interaction, light propagation in medium, scattering processes ...
- The description of nonlinearities of the third order: the optical Kerr effect, self phase modulation, modulation instability, solitons, four wave mixing, parametric amplification, supercontinuum generation
- The description of inelastic scatterings: spontaneous Brillouin and Raman scatterings
- the introduction to microring resonators, linear and kerr nonlinearities
- Advanced applications: supercontinuum generation, optical combs ...
- Professor: Camille Sophie Brès
