4.1 Introduction

One of the foremost fundamental wave conversion techniques is second harmonic generation, and it serves as the basis for several useful applications. The effect of second harmonic generation (SHG) was first observed in 1961 [1] and theoretically analyzed in 1962 [2]. Since then, it’s been of excessive interest in both applied and fundamental physics, but this effect is usually ...
