Properties of Laser Beam

A laser beam
Is monochrome
Can be focused in a very small point
Is intense
Is Coherent
Has a very low divergence
Can be compressed in time up to few
femto second

 The Essence of Nonlinear Optics

When the intensity of the

incident light to a material
system increases the
response of medium is no
longer linear.

11
 Response of an optical Medium
The response of an optical
medium to the incident hν
electro magnetic field µ
is the induced dipole hν
moments inside the hν µ
medium. µ µ
