Linear or conventional optics is the basis of all photonic applications. In these linear interactions of light with matter the relative change of the intensity is not a function of the used intensity. This in these conventional optical experiments the applied incident intensity is not important and often not even measured. This is in contrast to nonlinear interactions which are crucially dependent on the incident intensity, as will be described in the next chapter.
