Abstract: Selection rules in nonlinear optics determine which radiation modes are allowed/forbidden in nonlinear processes. Traditionally, the theory accounts for symmetries of the medium only. I will first present a more general theory in which the selection rules are derived from the space-time symmetries of the entire system: medium and light. Utilizing this approach, we discovered numerous new selection rules, …
