We theoretically examine generation of sum-frequency radiation in a regular domain structure, taking into account phase changes for all the interacting waves in a dissipative medium. We show that in contrast to the constant-field approximation, in the constant-intensity approximation there is an optimal value for the longitudinal dimension (length) of the domains at which maximum conversion of the signal wave energy to the sum-frequency wave energy occurs. As the pump intensity increases, the optimal domain length decreases. As the losses of the interacting waves increase, both the conversion efficiency and the optimal domain dimensions decrease.
