Production of
coherent radiation of frequency
(
)
from
coherent radiation of frequency. In general, this effect is obtained through the interaction of
laser light with a suitable optical medium with non-linear
polarizability. The case
is referred to as
frequency doubling,
is frequency tripling and
is frequency quadrupling. Even higher integer values of
are possible.
