Ab-initio real-time spectroscopy: application to non-linear opticsClaudio Attaccalite
This document discusses ab-initio real-time spectroscopy and its application to non-linear optics. It begins with an overview of non-linear optics and the polarization response. It then discusses using time-dependent density functional theory to calculate nonlinear optical properties in real-time by solving the time-dependent Schrodinger equation under an external electric field. Examples are given of calculating second and third harmonic generation in materials. The document also discusses approaches to address challenges like treating bulk polarization and including many-body effects.
