A parametric process is an optical process in which light interacts with matter in such a way as to leave the quantum state of the material unchanged. As a direct consequence of this there can be no transfer of energy, momentum, or angular momentum between the optical field and the physical system. In contrast a non-parametric process is a process in which any part of the quantum state of the system changes.

Temporal characteristics

Since a parametric process prohibits a change in the energy state of the system, parametric processes are considered to be 'instantaneous' processes. This can be seen as follows; if an atom absorbs a photon with energy E, the atom's energy will increase by ΔE = E. Since we are assuming this is a parametric process, the quantum state cannot change and thus this energy state must be a Virtual state. By the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle we know that ΔEΔt~ħ/2, thus the lifetime of a parametric process is roughly Δt~ħ/2ΔE, which is appreciably small for any non-zero ΔE.

Parametric versus non-parametric processes

Linear optics

In a linear optical system the dielectric polarization, P, responds linearly to the presence of an electric field, E, and thus we can write

$\mathbf{P}={\epsilon }_0\chi \mathbf{E}=(n_r+i{n}_i{)}^2\mathbf{E},$

where ε₀ is the electric constant, χ is the (complex) electric susceptibility, and n_r(n_i) is the real(imaginary) component of the refractive index of the medium. The effects of a parametric process will effect only n_r, whereas a nonzero value of n_i can only be caused by a non-parametric process.

Thus in linear optics a parametric process will act as a lossless dielectric with the following effects:

• Refraction
• Diffraction
• Elastic scattering
  • Rayleigh scattering
  • Mie scattering

Alternatively, non-parametric processes often involve loss (or gain) and give rise to:

• Absorption
• Inelastic scattering
  • Raman scattering
  • Brillouin scattering
• Various optical emission processes
  • Photoluminescence
  • Fluorescence
  • Luminescence
  • Phosphorescence

Nonlinear optics

In a nonlinear media, the dielectric polarization P responds nonlinearly to the electric field E of the light. As a parametric process is in general coherent, many parametric nonlinear processes will depend on phase matching and will usually be polarization dependent.

Sample parametric nonlinear processes:

• Second harmonic generation (SHG), or frequency doubling, generation of light with a doubled frequency (half the wavelength)
• Third harmonic generation (THG), generation of light with a tripled frequency (one-third the wavelength) (usually done in two steps: SHG followed by SFG of original and frequency-doubled waves)
• High harmonic generation (HHG), generation of light with frequencies much greater than the original (typically 100 to 1000 times greater)
• Sum frequency generation (SFG), generation of light with a frequency that is the sum of two other frequencies (SHG is a special case of this)
• Difference frequency generation (DFG), generation of light with a frequency that is the difference between two other frequencies
• Optical parametric amplification (OPA), amplification of a signal input in the presence of a higher-frequency pump wave, at the same time generating an idler wave (can be considered as DFG)
• Optical parametric oscillation (OPO), generation of a signal and idler wave using a parametric amplifier in a resonator (with no signal input)
• Optical parametric generation (OPG), like parametric oscillation but without a resonator, using a very high gain instead
• Spontaneous parametric down conversion (SPDC), the amplification of the vacuum fluctuations in the low gain regime
• Optical Kerr effect, intensity dependent refractive index
• Four-wave mixing (FWM)
• Self-focusing
• Kerr-lens modelocking (KLM)
• Self-phase modulation (SPM), a ${\chi }^{(3)}$ effect
• Optical solitons
• Cross-phase modulation (XPM)
• Four-wave mixing (FWM), can also arise from other nonlinearities
• Cross-polarized wave generation (XPW), a ${\chi }^{(3)}$ effect in which a wave with polarization vector perpendicular to the input is generated

Sample non-parametric nonlinear processes:

• Stimulated Raman scattering
• Raman amplification
• Two-photon absorption, simultaneous absorption of two photons, transferring the energy to a single electron
• Multiphoton absorption
• Multiple photoionisation, near-simultaneous removal of many bound electrons by one photon

  Naturally, you will have to pay a safety deposit and that is usually one month rent for annually of the settlement. That is the place your good religion deposit will likely be taken into account and will kind part or all of your security deposit. Anticipate to have a proportionate amount deducted out of your deposit if something is discovered to be damaged if you move out. It's best to you'll want to test the inventory drawn up by the owner, which can detail all objects in the property and their condition. If you happen to fail to notice any harm not already mentioned within the inventory before transferring in, you danger having to pay for it yourself.
  
  In case you are in search of an actual estate or Singapore property agent on-line, you simply should belief your intuition. It's because you do not know which agent is nice and which agent will not be. Carry out research on several brokers by looking out the internet. As soon as if you end up positive that a selected agent is dependable and reliable, you can choose to utilize his partnerise in finding you a home in Singapore. Most of the time, a property agent is taken into account to be good if he or she locations the contact data on his website. This may mean that the agent does not mind you calling them and asking them any questions relating to new properties in singapore in Singapore. After chatting with them you too can see them in their office after taking an appointment.

  Once you place down the one per cent choice price to carry down a non-public property, it's important to accept its situation as it is whenever you move in – faulty air-con, choked rest room and all. Get round this by asking your agent to incorporate a ultimate inspection clause within the possibility-to-buy letter. HDB flat patrons routinely take pleasure in this security net. "There's a ultimate inspection of the property two days before the completion of all HDB transactions. If the air-con is defective, you can request the seller to repair it," says Kelvin.

Generally, agents are entitled to be indemnified for all liabilities reasonably incurred within the execution of the brokers´ authority.
