Abstract
The Maker fringe technique remains the most common and reliable method for evaluating relative magnitudes of nonlinear optical (NLO) susceptibilties. In this work we discuss generalizations of this technique to multilayer and multi-component determination of NLO susceptibilties for second (SHG) and/or third (THG) harmonic generation. Many authors have discussed SHG and/or THG from a single crystal or slab of NLO material for the case of neglible depletion of the fundamental wave, (see e.g. [1]).
