Abstract
Recently, there has been considerable interest in the nonlinear electrodynamics of shaped microparticle suspensions.1-4 In particular, theoretical and experimental studies of nonlinear optical birefringence, phase shifting, and optical phase conjugation indicate that this is a very varied and potentially useful medium for numerous nonlinear optical processes. The unique characteristics of this medium can be appreciated by noting that these nonlinear optical processes have been experimentally demonstrated at both microwave and visible wavelengths, a spectral span of over 4 decades.
