2 §8.0 Introduction to Nonlinear Optics
非线性光学是专门研究强相干光与物质相互作用机理、现象和应用的光学分支。 光的电磁理论认为，光和物质相互作用的微观机理是光波电场引起介质极化，从而使介质中的原子（分子、离子）成为电偶极子，由于光波电场是时间的周期函数，所以各个偶极子将随时间作周期振动，这种受迫振动的频率与光波场的频率相同。并且这些振动的偶极子是一种场源，也要辐射电磁波，这就是通常所说的次波发射。 线性极化 线性光学： 非线性极化 非线性光学： i 阶非线性极化系数

3 §8.0 Introduction to Nonlinear Optics
以二阶极化为例： 单色平面电磁波： 极化波作为一个场源，不仅有基频光分量，还有直流分量和倍频分量。如果有多波作用，还会出现和频分量和差频分量。 需要指出的是，实际中一般并不容易同时观察到基频、倍频等光波，究竟哪一种频率的光波占主导作用，还要受到具体实验条件的限制。 1961年Franken的倍频实验标志着非线性光学的诞生。该领域的权威著作有 N. Bloembergen 的 “Nonlinear Optics”和 Y.R. Shen 的 “The Principles of Nonlinear Optics”。

In a Asymmetric Crystal Just consider the first two terms of restoring force, at D>0, a positive displacement (x>0) results in a larger force, than that of opposite direction. Indicate at the same E, electron moves shorter length in positive direction The above result means, at the same E, positive direction has smaller P
