Abstract

Optical self-focusing and defocusing, optical switching activities and optical signal processing can be successfully done by using optical Kerr materials. Due to the nonlinear property of Kerr medium, this medium can be used to convert the frequency of the applied light signal passing through the medium. Here, in this paper, the authors propose a method of using optical Kerr medium for parametric generation of very low frequency electrical signal.
