Joel A Greenberg

I am interested in studying nonlinear optics at low light levels. Because the nonlinear response of a material is typically very small, large intensities (i.e., large numbers of photons) are needed to see significant nonlinear effects. In my research, I am investigating ways to enhance the material's nonlinear susceptibility by coherently modifying its properties.
