A number of nonlinear optical phenomena can be described as frequency-mixing processes.
The practice of acoustic levitation would not be possible without understanding nonlinear acoustic phenomena.
A third, much less common way of producing a retroreflector is to use the nonlinear optical phenomenon of phase conjugation.
Motter has contributed to the study of nonlinear phenomena in complex systems.
In that sense, the electrogyration effect represents the first of the gradient nonlinear optical phenomena ever revealed.
This novel problem only became obvious as the lasers were scaled up in power to where nonlinear phenomena occur with very intense beams of light.
Lightning was a highly nonlinear phenomenon.
Dealing with high optical powers also needs the nonlinear optical phenomena to be taken in account.
It is concerned with nonlinear physics and nonlinear phenomena in general.
However, now this field of research was put into the larger context of self-organized and nonlinear phenomena.
