A new model to describe the origin of optical nonlinearity is presented. In this model, the interaction between light and medium is reduced to the coupling of photons with phonons, which occurs in the crystal lattice vibrating anharmonically. Then the optical nonlinearity originates from the nonlinear photon–phonon coupling or the interaction among phonons themselves. In this paper, more attention is drawn to the latter. By the given model, (1) degenerate and (2) nondegenerate parametric oscillations, (3) Stokes and (4) anti-Stokes Raman scattering, (5) sum-frequency and (6) second harmonic generation and (7) two-photon absorption are dealt with systematically and quantum-mechanically. The results of theoretical analysis show that the effects (1)–(4) are associated with threshold phenomenon, whereas the effects (5)–(7) with the saturation phenomenon.

Gallium phosphide (GaP) is one of the few available materials with strong optical nonlinearity and negligible losses in the visible (λ > 450 nm) and near-infrared regime. In this work, we demonstrate that a GaP film can generate sub–30-fs (full width at half maximum) transmission modulation of up to ~70% in the 600- to 1000-nm wavelength range. Nonlinear simulations using parameters measured by theZ-scan approach indicate that the transmission modulation arises from the optical Kerr effect and two-photon absorption. Because of the absence of linear absorption, no slower free-carrier contribution is detected. These findings place GaP as a promising ultrafast material for all-optical switching at modulation speeds of up to 20 THz.
