1. Optical parametric amplification and oscillation: the basics
1.1 Quadratic nonlinear optics
1.1.1 Non-linear susceptibility and polarization
When a dielectric medium is illuminated by an intense optical wave, such as that emitted by a laser, the displacement of electrons under the effect of this applied field becomes anharmonic
