Non-Linear Optics
Non-linear optics is a branch of optics that deals the interaction between light and matter, and the ways in which the behavior of light can be altered or controlled through the use of various materials and techniques.

Newton’s rings are an optical phenomenon that occurs when light reflects off a thin film of air or other transparent substance between two surfaces.
An anti-reflective coating, also known as an AR coating or non-reflective coating, is a thin layer of material applied to the surface of a lens or other optical element in order to reduce the amount of light that is reflected off of it.
A laser etalon is a device that is used to accurately measure the frequency of a laser beam. It works by using the principle of interference, which occurs when two waves meet and either reinforce or cancel each other out.
A monochromator is a device used to select and isolate a single wavelength of light from a broader spectrum.
A scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer is a device that is used to measure the properties of light and to analyze the properties of materials.
A wave plate, also known as a phase retarder, is a type of optical device that is used to alter the phase of light waves.
Brewster window, named after Scottish physicist Sir David Brewster, is a type of optical window that is commonly used in scientific and industrial applications.
Both HR and OC mirrors are essential components in the operation of a laser. The HR mirror reflects the laser beam back into the cavity, where it is amplified by the laser medium and passed through the OC mirror. The OC mirror then allows a portion of the amplified laser beam to exit the cavity, producing the desired laser output.
A diffraction grating is a type of optical device that is used to separate light into its different wavelengths.
