i read his book before knowing about this lecture, and i always imagined him as such a lovely humble person who is also fun and talks about this subject with joy, and i wasnt wrong. we are so honored for his personality
did you read the entire book? i mean thoroughly.? difficult for me to read after some pages.. because the background knowledge needed is lacking in me. i suppose.
@ 4:36 We only see that two laser beams are converted by a crystal in four laser beams. Without the crystal it does not happen. So scattering is not demonstrated here ... "in front of your eyes".
P2 (the induced second order polarization) is proportional to chi-2 and the square of the electric field. The electric field we are considering is that from the laser source, which is E1.
video presentation, is not comfortable, barbecue the laser pointer is not visible (i know technically the content is different screen than actual screen with laser pointer)
Damn a rare combo! Genius mind and a one who can deliver it well!
Legendary Robert W. Boyd.. I've been using his book for years now
i am very impressed at your mastery of everything it took to make this so simple to understand.
presented so clearly that I can understand it with only basic physics!
well done!
What a treat to find this lecture!
Amazing lecture with a balanced portion of information. Thanks so much Prof. Boyd for the lecture.

great guy, great teacher, great lecture.
Excellent Lecture by Prof. Boyd
where i can get the lecture notes?

I wish I could know where he's pointing to since whenever he's pointing to something it's not being shown
At 34:16 in equation 3, I don't understand why P2 is expressed in terms of E1?

What do you use as a "phase conjugate mirror" sir? A Prism?
Excellent.
Imperial college London PCA lecture of Dr Donna Strickland bring me here
Bob is the best! Thanks!
U are awesome dude
The best !
Father of nonlinear optics...
Nice talk.
Thank you so much for your kindness ❤
Boyd is a scientific god.

Hello sir welcome
video presentation, is not comfortable, barbecue the laser pointer is not visible (i know technically the content is different screen than actual screen with laser pointer)
whatever nerd lmao
