Abstract
In optical second-harmonic generation coherent optical radiation of frequency 2ω is generated, through the use of a medium with the appropriate nonlinear susceptibility, from incident coherent optical radiation of frequency ω. For the process to take place efficiently, the phase matching condition (colinear geometry)
must be fulfilled, where k(ω)and k(2ω)are the wave numbers, in the nonlinear medium, for the coherent radiations at frequencies ω and 2ω, respectively.
