Abstract
<p>I am working at institute d’optique that was established in 1920 with a group of research called MANOLIA ( nonlinear materials and applications )</p> <p>The research project is to study nonlinear optics in SOI ( silicon on insulator ) nanowires with cross section about 0.1-0.2 mm2 .Non-linear propagation could be investigated using OPO ( optical parametric oscillator ) with incident peak power of 100 W and repetition rate of 80 MHZ, while the optical injection setup was performed using two identical microscopic objectives.</p> <p>The importance of studying silicon sample is due to the fact that silicon exhibits high refractive index whch allows for a high confinement of optical waves to a sub-micron region , moreover silicon does nt exhibits linear and second order optical properties, xhile it exhibits third order non-linearity.''</p>
