Nonlinear Optics and Wave Propagation Lab

In the Nonlinear optics and wave propagation laboratory, we study a wide range of physical phenomena of waves. From sculpturing light during frequency conversion, through shaping propagating plasmons, and even manipulating electron beams and electron-matter-light interactions. The lab is run by Prof. Ady Arie.

The research in the laboratory spans across several fields:

• Nonlinear Optics
  Nonlinear optics deals with converting laser with one color to another. Our research shows advanced ways to get these frequency conversions, but also shape the emitted light’s parameters.

• Electron Optics
  Electrons have mass and charge, but they still exhibit wave phenomena like interference. In our research we study electron-matter-light interactions as well as creating ways to sculpture the quantum wave-function of electrons.

• Other Topics
  Our research also includes shaped water waves, particle manipulation using laser beams, super oscillations, accelerating beams and more.

• Plasmons
  Surface Plasmons Polaritons are electro-magnetic waves that propagate on a surface of a metal, and exhibit special qualities. We study how these waves can be manipulated in useful ways.
