Abstract
Cascading is the process by which the exchange of energy between optic al beams interacting via second order nonlinearities (chi((2))) leads to various effects such as nonlinear phase shifts, the generation of n ew beams, all-optical transistor action, the formation of soliton-like (solitary) waves, etc. Here we review the fundamentals of the process es and discuss experimental verification of the effects and various re lated applications.
