Nonlinear lenses and their applications

Work on the physics of nonlinear optical lenses is reviewed. The foundations of the theory of optical systems with thin nonlinear lenses are examined. The results of investigations of nonlinear lenses under different conditions of laser excitation are presented and analyzed. The basic applications of nonlinear lenses in optical measurements and for control of laser radiation are discussed.
