Nonlinear optics
TL;DR: In this method, non-linear susceptibility tensors are introduced which relate the induced dipole moment to a power series expansion in field strengths and the various experimental observations are described and interpreted in terms of this formalism.

Quasi-phase-matched second harmonic generation: tuning and tolerances
TL;DR: The theory of quasi-phase-matched second-harmonic generation in both the space domain and the wave vector mismatch domain is presented in this paper, where various types of errors in the periodicity of these structures are analyzed to find their effects on the conversion efficiency and on the shape of the tuning curve.

Perturbation theory of the non-linear optical polarization of an isolated system
Brian J. Orr,J. F. Ward +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the non-linear optical polarization of an isolated atom or molecule is treated, giving careful consideration to secular and resonant terms in the perturbation expansion, and the Method of Averages introduced by Bogoliubov and Mitropolsky is used.

Coherence Properties of Optical Fields
Leonard Mandel,Emil Wolf +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of coherence properties of electromagnetic fields and their measurements, with special emphasis on the optical region of the spectrum, is presented, based on both the classical and quantum theories.

Quantum nonlinear optics — photon by photon
TL;DR: In this article, three major approaches to generate optical nonlinearities based on cavity quantum electrodynamics, atomic ensembles with large Kerr non-linearities and strong atomic interactions are reviewed.
