Below you will find my updated abstract. I hope it is satisfactory. Regarding the exam, we are not permitted to bring any aids with us, right? (i.e. Equation sheets, text books, etc.?) Also, did you get a chance to speak with professor Hori, regarding the exam conflicts that Mohammed and I have? Thanks, James Abstract: Non-Linear Optics In the Lorentz model, we assumed that the polarisation depends linearly on the electric field. If we assume that the potential can be expanded in a Taylor series, this can be thought to be the first non-zero term. If the higher order terms in the expansion are not neglected, i.e. in sufficiently large fields, then some interesting effects may arise. This talk will introduce some of the second and third order effects that are possible, including second harmonic generation, the electro-optic effect, three wave mixing, the optical Kerr effect, soliton solutions, and phase conjugate mirrors.
