The problem is efficiency. Maxwell's equations are completely linear, so nonlinear optics relies entirely on materials with nonlinear response to optical fields. Unfortunately these responses deviate ...

When beams of ultra-short laser pulses running in the same direction intersect with each other at a noticeable angle, various interactions occur between the pulses. These physical phenomena are ...

The nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) occupies a central role in the mathematical modelling of wave phenomena across optics, fluid dynamics and quantum systems. As a fundamental evolution equation ...

Rogue waves, or “freak waves”, are large amplitude waves that suddenly appear and then disappear. Originally the subject of folklore, these waves have now been successfully observed in numerous ...

Dolphins may use complex nonlinear mathematics when hunting, according to a new study that suggests these brainy marine mammals could be far more skilled at math than was ever thought possible before.

She’s right—using simultaneous equations does get really complicated, and if you’d like to send me your work for the solution, I’d love to see it. But the system is also kind of a trick. Like a sudoku ...

How is that doubling and not squaring? Is that a domain-specific use of the word doubling that's different from the everyday one? Normally "doubling" would be the function f(x) = 2x. Click to expand..
