Resonance effects on χ(3) refer to the influence of specific energy levels and resonant transitions in a material on its third-order nonlinear susceptibility, χ(3). These effects can significantly enhance the efficiency of nonlinear optical processes, such as third-harmonic generation, by allowing for strong interactions between light and matter when the frequency of the incoming light matches the resonant frequency of the material's electronic or vibrational states.
congrats on reading the definition of resonance effects on χ(3). now let's actually learn it.
