Abstract

This manuscript presents nonlinear optic applications to frequency generation and temporal measurement of nonlinear phase processes. It deals with : - a femtosecond parametric amplification setup that enable to extend experimental wavelength to the near infrared. - a linear phase shift measurement system for time resolved pump-probe experiments. - optical phonon frequency measurement in perovskites crystals, including theorical and experimental determination of the associated wave vector. - temporal measurement of the phase shift induced by cascaded second order nonlinearities. We show that it behaves like a non intantaneous process for second harmonic or sum frequency generations. The associated chirp is therefore nonlinear.
