Abstract

One of the broadest classes of phenomena in non-linear optics is the transformation of frequency of an electromagnetic radiation propagating in the non-linear medium. Harmonics generation of the fundamental wave (pump), sum-frequency and difference-frequency mixing are classified among these phenomena [1]. Under sufficiently high intensity of a pump the polarisation of a medium is not a linear function of the electric field strength of the wave. If the frequencies of an electromagnetic field are not in resonance with atomic transition frequencies, one can use a standard perturbation theory to reveal this dependency.
