Abstract

We present results of a theoretical analysis of sum-frequency generation incorporating second harmonic generation of the incident fields. It is shown that under certain conditions, a significant reduction in conversion efficiency can occur even when phase mismatch for second harmonic generation is relatively large. Experimental results on sum frequency generation in CdGeAs₂ of two CO₂ laser emission tuned to the 9 µm vibrational band are presented which are in good qualitative agreement with the theoretical predictions. © 1986.
