Description

Advances in Nonlinear Photonics combines fundamental principles with an overview of the latest developments. The book is suitable for the multidisciplinary audience of photonics researchers and practitioners in academia and R&D, including materials scientists and engineers, applied physicists, chemists, etc. As nonlinear phenomena are at the core of photonic devices and may enable future applications such as all-optical switching, all-optical signal processing and quantum photonics, this book provides an overview of key concepts. In addition, the book reviews the most important advances in the field and how nonlinear processes may be exploited in different photonic applications.

Key features

  • Introduces fundamental principles of nonlinear phenomena and their application in materials and devices
  • Reviews and provides definitions of the latest research directions in the field of nonlinear photonics
  • Discusses the most important developments in materials and applications, including future prospects

Luigi Sirleto

Since 2001, he has been a researcher at CNR in Naples. As visiting scientist, from 2001 to 2004 he spent several months at University of Twente (NL) and at UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles). In 2006, he founded the Nonlinear and Ultrafast Optics Lab at IMM CNR and since then he has led the research activities of the same. He was member of the Board of Italian Society of Optics and Photonics (SIOF) from 2009 to 2014. In 2018, he received his qualification as full professor of Experimental Matter Physics. He has served as a reviewer of many international journals and as committee member of a number of national and international conferences. He has been co-chair of Workshop Progress in Nonlinear Photonics and Applications (PNPA 2020). He has been co-editor of the book ‘Nonlinear Photonics Devices’ (MDPI, 2021). Since 2021, he has been a section editor of Optik and an associate editor of Journal of Nonlinear Optical Physics & Materials . He is co-author of over 200 papers, mostly on nonlinear/ultrafast optics spectroscopy and photonics devices.
