I.e., in linear case when field's strengh increases twice, effect also increases twice. If effect is non-linear you can have 0.1 times increase in effect. Regarding photon-photon scattering you can have a look at this wikipedia article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-photon_physics It's about interaction between photons in vaccum. This is pure QED effect which doesn't exist in classical electrodynamics. | |
