Nonlinear Optical Processes in Molecular Systems.
Abstract
This research was concerned with studies of ultrafast processes in condensed matter studied by the various nonlinear optical spectroscopic methods. Work was completed in areas involving: the theory of strong field effects; the separation of fluorescence and Raman scattering; the effects of condensed matter fluctuations on Raman; fully resonant second harmonic generation; Dice effects in chi(squared); analysis of third order responses for rotating dipoles; picosecond studies of molecular reorientation; subpicosecond responses of metal particles to light; and effects of ultrahigh intensity pulses on the Raman spectral shape. Keywords: Picosecond lasers; Resonant molecular optics; Gold particles; Raman scattering.
