Abstract
In the constant-intensity approximation, we analyze the nonlinear quasiphase-matched frequency doubling and tripling in the case of a backward second-harmonic wave. The third harmonic conversion efficiency for different orders of the quasiphase matching is analytically calculated. We show that there exists an optimum value of the ratio of nonlinear coefficients (β3/β2)opt and find that the conversion maximum η3 = 0.12 is reached at (β3/β2)opt = 0.667, which is consistent with the result of the numerical calculation. Also we provide recommendations for designing optical superlattices from new prospective materials for efficient frequency converters.
