- Abstract
Designing of the experiments and devices based on the nonlinear optics is a new and emerging field, which is finding newer applications. Technical analysis of the phenomenon associated with the nonlinear optics (NLO), like, for exmple: Second harmonic generation, Sum frequency generation, difference frequency generation, optical parameter amplification, 'N' wave mixing, and nonlinear polarization, has been presented in this paper The important materials studied and used for this fascinating field, the experimental results available in the literature and the related applications have also been reviewed. Optical nonlinear properties of noble metal nanoparticles and composites, and their applications for ultra-fast active plasmonics, and medical therapy have been discussed. The paper should be of great use for the new researchers entering this field, and also for the experts engaged in designing of the NLO based devices.
