• All mixing phenomena,involving generation of sum and differencefrequencies (SHG, parametric amplification)
• Pockels’ effect• Optical rectification

• Third Harmonic Generation • Kerr effect• All types of FWM phenomena,
including CARS

In an uniaxial crystal
where ne and no are indexes of refraction for extraordinary and ordinary rays, respectively, is angle between k and optic axis of the crystal Phase matching conditions: = and Or n2 = n , but n = k/2 and n2 = (/2)k/2
So, 2k= k, or

Second Harmonic GenerationIn real case k never is equal to 0,So, SHG power oscillates with z
Finally, phase matching for SHG requires 2 conditions:
a) Correct angle between k and crystal axis to reach
k = k(2) - 2k() => 0
n2 = nor
b) Correct crystal length to reach maximum SHG power

Phase Matching in fs-BOXCARSComparison theory and experiment
Conclusion
• Every nonlinear optical phenomenon requires it’s own unique approach to understand the phase matching conditions
• Understanding of phase matching is crucially important to run a nonlinear optical experiment correctly and for interpretation of it’s results.
