This is a reversal of direction when compared to the behavior of conventional optical materials.
The division investigates new optical materials, especially photonic crystal fibers.
Non-linear optical materials are used in the frequency conversion of laser light.
Several methods of frequency conversion using non-linear optical materials exist.
Other fullerenes may be useful as lubricants and optical materials.
In scientific studies and research, one way to communicate the range of response is the refractive index of a given optical material.
These are optical materials that can function in a manner similar to glass or prisms.
It is used to develop ferroelectric materials, and in optical materials.
No optical material is involved in the focusing process as in traditional telescopes.
Periodically poled crystals are frequently used as nonlinear optical materials.
