Notes:
We propose a computational technique to evaluate the reflectivity and the transmission of the harmonics generated by a planar-stratified material containing nonlinear layers. Maxwell's equations are solved and the scattering boundary conditions are implemented using a transfer matrix technique. As our goal beyond this study is to model sum-frequency generation spectra, our approach is limited to second-order processes. The great advantage of this algorithm is that owing to a self-consistent procedure the nonlinear scattering problem is reduced to the repeated solving of linear equations. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
