Since laser was invented, a new dimension was opened in optics, ushering in the non linear world
with already numerous applications to light sources and optical processing of information. This course will
introduce the students to this domain and enable them to fully master its innovative aspects. It describes the
physics of the non linear interaction between light and matter from a perturbation approach and shows its
consequences on the propagation of optical waves. Its describes in detail the second and third order non linear effects rich in applications.

Course given in common with: M1 Erasmus Mundus OpSciTech
