Summary
We present a general formulation of the enhancement of nonlinear phenomena, such as second-harmonic generation and parametric mixing, which results when surface electromagnetic waves are used as the incident and/or outgoing radiation in attenuated-total-reflection prism configurations. This formulation is also applicable to Raman scattering by optical and acoustical phonons in metals.
Riassunto
Si presenta una formulazione generale dell’aumento dei fenomeni non lineari come la generazione di seconda armonica e il mescolamento parametrico che si generano quando si usano onde elettromagnetiche di superficie come radiazione incidente e/o uscente nelle configurazioni di prisma a riflessione totale attenuata. Questa formulazione è anche applicabile allo scattering Raman per mezzo di fononi ottici e acustici nei metalli.
РезУме
Мы предлагаем общую формулировку усиления нелинейных явлений, таких как образование второй гармоники и параметрическое смешивание, которое имеет место, когда поверхностные электромагнитные волны исполязуются как падающее и/или рассеянное излучение. Эта формулировка также применима к рамановскому рассеянию на оптических и акустических фононах в металлах.
