Third-harmonic conical emission in solids using tightly-focused femtosecond infrared pulses

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

It is a well-known prediction1 in nonlinear optics that it is not possible within the perturbative limit to generate the third harmonic for a tightly-focused Gaussian beam in a positively dispersive medium. However, it has been shown in gases that third-harmonic emission can occur as the result of additional nonlinear processes such as the nonlinear refractive index2 and plasma formation.3,4
