DEAN R. EVANS AND GARY COOK The photorefractive effect is unique in the world of nonlinear optics . Unlike most nonlinear materials, the optical response in photorefractives is generally independent of intensity. This unusual
Nonlinear optics based on stimulated Raman scattering produce hundreds of wavelengths from diode-pumped solid-state lasers and can compress

of tasks,” he notes. “With this work, one can foresee that quasi phase-matched gratings can perform for nonlinear optics many tasks that Bragg gratings do for linear optics-and then more.” There will be more to learn from the Stockholm
Femtosecond lasers could have a new trick to add to the arsenal of effects they produce: They may be able to make it rain.
A full image of one color is optically upconverted to an image of a different color; the technique shows promise for imaging at wavelengths where direct, fast detection is difficult.
