Bond Model of Second- and Third-Harmonic Generation in Body- and Face-Centered Crystal Structures by Hendradi Hardhienata, Tony Ibnu Sumaryada, Benedikt Pesendorfer, Adalberto Alejo-Molina

“…In this work, we describe the third- and fourth-rank tensors of body- and face-centered cubic systems and derive the s- and p-polarized SHG far field using the simplified bond-hyperpolarizability model. We also briefly discuss bulk nonlinear sources in such structures: quadrupole contribution, spatial dispersion, electric-field second-harmonic generation, and third-harmonic generation, deriving the corresponding fourth rank tensor. …”
