Influence of the Kerr nonlinearity on the efficiency of optical harmonic generation in isotropic media

K. N. Drabovich, I. A. Kulagin, T. Usmanov


Abstract: An analytic expression is derived for the efficiency of harmonic generation in focused beams allowing for the second-order Kerr effect. A specific analysis is made for the case of the third harmonic. The results show good agreement with known experimental data.
