Nonlinear optics in photonic crystals

Photonic crystals provide novel concepts and opportunities for molding and controlling the flow of light. In this paper I will review some of our experimental efforts to utilize the distinctive properties of photonic crystals to enhance nonlinear optical processes or use the nonlinear optical processes to tune the photonic crystal properties. Examples related to second harmonic generation, Kerr nonlinearities and plasma switching will be given for 1-D and 2-D systems.
