frequenciesand an output frequency that are identical.Identical frequencies=degenerate.Degenerate four-wave mixing gives rise to an amazing variety of interesting effects.Some are desirable.Some are not.Some are desirable some of the time and not the rest of the time.Because the k-vectors can have different directions,well distinguish between them(as well as the

four-wave mixing gives rise to“self”effects.These include:Self-phase modulationSelf-focusing(whole-beam and small-scale)Both of these effects participate in the generation of ultrashort pulses!If just

variety of effects give rise to a nonlinear refractive index.Those that yield a large n2 typically have a slow response.Thermal effects yield a huge nonlinear refractive index through thermal expansion due to energy deposition,but they are very very slow.As a result,most media,including even Chinese tea,have nonlinear refractive indices!vibrational中国中国历历史上吸烟的史上吸烟的历历史和史和现现状、所采取的措施以及由此状、所采取的措施以及由此带带来的痛苦和灾来的痛苦和灾难难,可以,可以进进一步了解吸烟一步了解吸烟对对人民健康的危害,提高人民健康的危害,提高师师生的控烟意生的控烟意识识Whole-beam self-focusingThis is precisely the behavior of a

they grow from quantum noise in the beam,which is always there.As a result,an intense ultrashort pulse cannot propagate through any medium without degenerating into a mass of tiny highly intense filaments,which,even worse,badly damage the medium.If the beam has variations in intensity across its profile,it undergoessmall-scale self-focusing.Each tiny bump in the beam undergoes its own separate self-focusing,yielding a tightly focused spot inside the beam,called a“filament.”IntensityPosition中国中国历历史上吸烟的史上吸烟的历历史和史和现现状、所采取的措施以及由此状、所采取的措施以及由此带带来的痛苦和灾来的痛苦和灾难难,可以,可以进进一步了解吸烟一步了解吸烟对对人民健康的危害,提高人民健康的危害,提高师师生的控烟意生的控烟意识识Small-scale self-focusing vs.distance:SimulationA
