N2 - This chapter describes the general importance of nonlinear optics in semiconductor nanostructures based on their quantum confinement characteristics since this characteristic is considered key in the procedure of implementing new technological applications in various fields of interest. Concepts of quantum confinement systems are mentioned, in addition to the classification of semiconductor nanostructures from quantum dots. Also, the electronic states in some systems are briefly analyzed, as well as their important relationship between the surface of the nanomaterial and its volume. In addition, it also focuses on the optical effects related to second- and third-order nonlinearities related to the geometry and composition of semiconductors.
