What does nonlinear optics look like in the lab? In this video, I go through a demonstration with two lasers producing short pulses to generate beams at different colours from the originals. This is called Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) when a single beam is used and Sum Frequency Generation (SFG) when two beams are used. Comments are welcome, please subscribe.
