Abstract

In this paper we study the quantum-theoretical description of second-harmonic generation (SHG) in optical waveguides. The interaction operator of three waveguide modes, by means of which the equations for spatially slowly varying annihilation and creation operators of the field strength amplitudes can be determined, is obtained by using the mode fields in the waveguides. The equations for spatially slowly varying annihilation and creation operators of the field are derived. We seek approximate solutions of the operator equations, and obtain the conversion efficiency of SHG.
