Phenomenological theory of optical second- and third-harmonic generation from cubic centrosymmetric crystals

Sipe, J., Moss, D., van Driel, H.·1987·Physical Review B

Abstract

We present a macroscopic theory for anisotropic second- and third-harmonic generation obtained in reflection from the surface and bulk of cubic centrosymmetric single crystals. The theory is based on possible electric dipole, electric quadrupole, and magnetic dipole sources. Completely general expressions for the harmonic fields are obtained for (100), (111), and (110) faces independent of the details of the surface response but consistent with crystal symmetry. The results obtained agree with all existing experimental data obtained by various groups during the past few years. The possibility of separating out surface and bulk responses is considered using symmetry, polarization, or geometry arguments and it is concluded that for second-harmonic generation this cannot be done in general without additional information. Third-harmonic generation, barring any strong resonantly enhanced surface electric dipole effects, is essentially a bulk probe.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
