Kerr Nonlinearity

Kerr Nonlinearity is a third-order nonlinear optical phenomenon in which the polarization of a dielectric medium responds nonlinearly to the electric field of light, leading to an intensity-dependent refractive index that enables self-focusing, self-phase modulation, and other intensity-driven propagation effects.
