Abstract

Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) at a metallic surface was first reported by F. Brown et al. [1] in 1965. At the same time, Jha [2] established that this phenomenon is a surface effect. Indeed, in bulk centrosymmetric media, even order nonlinear (NL) effects, in particular SHG, are forbidden. However, there is, by geometry, a break of the symmetry at the surface. The second harmonic (SH) signal is generated because of the discontinuities occurring at the surface. A second source term is due to the decay of the pump field in the medium. These initial ideas are well described in a famous paper by Bloembergen et al. [3] published in 1968.
