We report on the electro-optic and nonlinear optical properties of waveguides produced by low fluence (Phi = 1.25x10(14) ions/cm(2)) H+ ion implantation in the organic nonlinear optic crystal 4-N,N-dimethylamino-4'-N'-methyl-stilbazolium tosylate (DAST). The profile of the nonlinear optical susceptibility has been determined by measuring the reflected second-harmonic generation efficiency from ...

In this paper we present a method for nonlinear diffusion of matrix-valued data. We adapt this technique to the well-known linear structure tensor in order to develop a new nonlinear structure tensor. It is then used to improve the optic flow estimation methods of Lucas and Kanade and its spatio-temporal variant of Bigün et al.. Our experiments show that the nonlinear structure tensor leads to ...

In fiber-optic systems with multiple channels or subcarriers, any three channels create new signal components through the nonlinear process of Four-Wave-Mixing (FWM). For the first time, to our best knowledge, we calculate the number of these products for each frequency. The results can be useful for nonlinear system analysis of multiplexed fiber-optic communication systems.

Based on the principle of blackbody radiation, sapphire optic fiber temperature sensor has been more widely used in recent years, and its temperature range is between 800 ~ 2000 oC, and the response time is in 10-2 magnitude, and transient temperature measurement can be high precision in harsh environments. Nonlinear constraints on sapphire fiber temperature sensor affect the accuracy and stabi...

We investigate a modiication of Horn and Schunck's approach which leads to a better preservation of ow discontinuities. It replaces the quadratic smoothness term by a nonquadratic one. Energy minimization by steepest descent leads to a system of two nonlinear diiusion{reaction equations with a single common nonlinear diiusivity. This enables us to make use from techniques for nonlinear diiusion...

We report on the time-resolved observation of coherent optical phonons in GaAs by the Franz-Keldysh effect. This effect leads to a modulation of the optical interband transitions with a nonlinear dependence on the macroscopic electric field associated with the coherent phonons. We find that the nonlinear electro-optic effect forms a far more efficient detection mechanism for coherent phonons th...
