Theory of Second Harmonic Generation in Presence of Diffraction, Beam Walk-off and Pump Depletion

Abstract

Integral expressions for the pump and generated fields are presented here for the case of second harmonic generation of a focused Gaussian pump beam incident on a nonlinear crystal. The birefringent walk-off of the generated beam and the effect of pump depletion are included in the theory.
