The number of nonlinear spectroscopies is staggering. This page does not discuss some of the non-linear spectroscopies directly related to the index of refraction of materials, such as the Kerr effect, self-focusing, and laser-induced birefringence. As for linear spectroscopy (including lasers), we have placed links to much more detailed lists of the various optical research groups around the globe, as well as a few educational sites.
