Abstract

A modal method for the study of second harmonic (SH) generation in nanostructures is depicted both for plane waves and focused beam illumination. It is based on the B-spline modal method, and relies on the undepleted pump approximation. The nonlinear polarization induced by an incident plane wave or a focused beam generates a source term at the doubled frequency. The latter is divided into a finite number of sub-sources, and the SH field is subsequently computed by integration of these sub-source contributions.
