#### 1.7.3.3.3.2. SHG () and SFG () in the same crystal

When the SFG conversion efficiency is sufficiently low in comparison with that of the SHG, it is possible to integrate the equations relative to SHG and those relative to SFG separately (Boulanger, Fejer et al., 1994). In order to compare this situation with the example taken for the previous case, we consider a type-I configuration of polarization for SHG. By assuming a perfect phase matching for SHG, the amplitude of the third harmonic field inside the crystal is (Boulanger, 1994)withΓ is as in (1.7.3.59).

(1.7.3.73) can be analytically integrated for undepleted pump SHG; , , and so we havewithwhere the integral J(L) is

For a nonzero SFG phase mismatch, ,

For phase-matched SFG, ,

Therefore (1.7.3.75) according to (1.7.3.78) is equal to (1.7.3.72) with , and 100% transmission coefficients at ω and 2ω between the two crystals.
