Christodoulides, Iam Choon Khoo, Gregory J. Salamo, George I. Stegeman, Eric W. Van Stryland<br/>We provide an in-depth treatment of the various mechanisms by which an incident light beam can produce an intensity- or flux-dependent change in the refractive index and absorption coefficient of different materials. Whenever possible, the mechanisms are initially traced to single-atom and ... [Adv. Opt.
