The area of nonlinear optics has seen increasing attention because of relevance to signal processing using lightwave technology. Since light is uncharged any interaction between light beams must occur through such interactions. Crystals exhibiting the largest interactions thus far have been the so-called photo-refractive crystals and have consequently been very widely used in such studies. Several striking developments have occured in recent years to focus attention upon this area. The area of optical computing, that of optical neural networks, and that of optical phase conjugation to correct distortion of optical beams are among these. This is a direction with a lot of potential both from the point of view of the optics involved and from the point of view of the development of better materials.

由于使用LightWave技术与信号处理有关，因此非线性光学的区域引起了人们的关注。 由于光无负荷，必须通过这种相互作用发生任何相互作用。 迄今为止，表现出最大相互作用的晶体一直是所谓的光赋予晶体，因此在此类研究中非常广泛使用。 近年来，发生了一些惊人的发展，以将注意力集中在这一领域上。 其中包括光学计算，光学神经网络的面积以及光相结合以纠正光束的变形的面积。从所涉及的光学器件的角度以及从更好的材料的开发角度来看，这是一个具有很大潜力的方向。
