Nonlinear Optical Processes and Materials
Linear optical processes
Reflection, Refraction, Absorption
No change in properties of medium or light

First hyperpolarisability
Centrosymmetric systems
E  -E,
P  -P
 (2) ,  = 0
Noncentrosymmetric systems
E  -E,
P  P'
 (2) ,   0
Second Harmonic Generation (SHG)
E  sin (t)

