Nonlinear Optics: Diversity & Flexibility of Perovskite Structure by Eric Thomas is a comprehensive and insightful investigation into the dynamic intersection of advanced optical phenomena and the structural richness of perovskite materials. With a focus on nonlinear optical (NLO) behavior - including second-harmonic generation, multi-photon absorption, and frequency mixing - this book highlights how the adaptable nature of perovskite frameworks enables cutting-edge applications in photonics, optoelectronics, and quantum technologies.
Perovskites, known for their unique ability to host a wide variety of cations and anions, offer a remarkable platform for tuning electronic, optical, and structural properties. Eric Thomas dives deep into the mechanisms that give rise to nonlinear responses in these materials, including polarization dynamics, symmetry breaking, and crystal anisotropy. The book synthesizes theoretical models with recent experimental breakthroughs, providing readers with a robust understanding of how perovskite diversity supports optical versatility.
Designed for graduate students, academic researchers, and industry innovators, this book serves as both a reference and a roadmap to leveraging perovskites in the next generation of optical technologies.
