ABSTRACTGe-associated defect centers induced by 5 eV (∼ 245 nm) photons of various intensities in Ge-doped silica were studied using electron spin resonance (ESR). We found that Ge E' centers observed in Bragg grating Ge-doped silica core fibers are induced and bleached by one- and two-photon absorption processes, respectively. The observation that Ge E's are the only paramagnetic centers induced by low intensity 5 eV photons supports the proposal that the Ge E' center is responsible for the photoinduced structures observed in both Bragg grating and second-harmonic-generation (SHG) fibers.

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.

We investigate broadband two-photon absorption autocorrelators based on II–VI semiconductor nanoplatelets as an alternative to common second harmonic generation based techniques.
