Second-Harmonic Generation by Electromagnetic Waves at the Surface of a Semi-Infinite Metal

Abstract

Reference [1], which appears in the Proceedings of the RADAR'09 Conference at Bordeaux in October 2009, describes nonlinear currents generated by an electromagnetic wave incident on a metal surface. This paper supplements the results of [1] with a full calculation of the RCS per unit area for second harmonic generation. These results verify that the level of such emission from a metal surface is anomalously low.
