Nonlinear absorption is the kind of absorption that occurs when materials are illuminated by a strong laser source. It's name is nonlinear because this type of absorption is proportional to square of intensity and higher orders. Remember Beer's law.

Briefly

dI/dz=-alfa*I-beta*I2-gamma*I3..

beta and gamma are the nonlinear absorption terms!
