Interferometry of hyper-Rayleigh scattering by inhomogeneous thin films

arXiv:physics/9905029 · doi:10.1364/OL.24.001260

Abstract

The use of specific symmetry properties of the optical second-harmonic generation (the s,s-exclusion rule) has allowed us to observe high-contrast hyper-Rayleigh interference patterns in a completely diffuse light - an effect having no analog in case of linear (Rayleigh) scattering.
