Hi All,
I was searching in the net if the exact solution of the nonlinear system describing the second harmonic generation does exist, but I found nothing.
Does some one know about such solution and if yes can you give references? Thanks

Well it seems that my question is very difficult …..

I suspect that you don't realize how complicated the answer is!
 
  • #4


You haven't told us what nonlinear system you are asking about.

Post some equations, or a web link. Then you might get some answers.

Ok, here is the nonlinear system that I want to solve

idA/dt=B.B.exp(i.s.t)

idB/dt=B*.A.exp(-i.s.t)

where B(t),A(t),s=constant but B and A are complex (B* means complex conjugation of B in the above equation)

Nonlinear differential equation can, what are the solutions of this one?

Hi all,
I am searching for the solutions of the following nonlinear system:

idA/dt=B.B.exp(i.s.t)

idB/dt=B*.A.exp(-i.s.t)

where B(t),A(t),s=constant but B and A are complex (B* means complex conjugation of B in the above equation). Does some one know its solutions?
I know the solution in case when s=0 then B(t)=tanh(t); A(t)=i.sech(t), but I do not know the more general case. Can you help me?
Thanks

What about is s is very small? I.e. when [itex]0<s\ll 1[/itex], you can get an analytical solution then, by expanding the exponential as [itex]\exp (x)=1+x[/itex].

It seems to me that something is wrong here. Your B(t)=tanh(t); A(t)=i.sech(t) is not a solution to your system when s=0. Or I misunderstand your notations.

I didn't check this, if s=0, then you can divide the equations to find:
[tex]
\frac{dB}{dA}= \frac{A}{B}
[/tex]
Which integrates to [itex]A=kB[/itex], where k>0 is the integration constant, substuting this into the second equation shows that:
[tex]
i\frac{dB}{dt}=kB^{2}
[/tex]
Which certainly doesn't give the solution that you have.
 

FAQ: Solving Second-Harmonic Generation Phase Mismatch - Exact Solution?

What is Second-Harmonic Generation Phase Mismatch?

Second-Harmonic Generation (SHG) Phase Mismatch is a phenomenon that occurs when the phase of the second harmonic wave generated in a nonlinear medium does not match the phase of the fundamental wave. This can lead to a decrease in the efficiency of the SHG process and affect the accuracy of the generated signal.

Why is it important to solve Second-Harmonic Generation Phase Mismatch?

Solving Second-Harmonic Generation Phase Mismatch is crucial for obtaining accurate and efficient results in SHG experiments. It allows for the proper alignment of the input and output beams, which ensures a stronger and more precise second harmonic signal.

What is the Exact Solution for Solving Second-Harmonic Generation Phase Mismatch?

The Exact Solution for Solving Second-Harmonic Generation Phase Mismatch involves adjusting the phase of the fundamental and second harmonic waves to achieve a perfect match. This can be done by using a half-wave plate or a phase shifter to adjust the phase of one of the waves.

What factors can contribute to Second-Harmonic Generation Phase Mismatch?

There are several factors that can contribute to Second-Harmonic Generation Phase Mismatch, including imperfections in the nonlinear crystal, beam misalignment, and temperature variations in the crystal. It is important to carefully control and adjust these factors to minimize phase mismatch.

How can Second-Harmonic Generation Phase Mismatch be measured and corrected?

Second-Harmonic Generation Phase Mismatch can be measured using various techniques, such as interferometric methods or phase-sensitive detection. Once measured, it can be corrected by adjusting the phase of one of the input beams using a phase shifter or a feedback loop system.
