I{ere N is the refractive index oi~the second harmonic in the isotropic medium; Ni,2are the refractive indices of the two circularly polarized second-harmonic waves in the crystal; N~ = = n2,I and ~1,2 = [NI,2 - N~ From the expressions derived it follows that for incidence of circularly polarized radiation ("/0 = ~1) the transmitted second-harmonic wave likewise turns out to be circularly polarized, only in the opposite direction; the reflected second-harmonic wave has the same polarization as the fundamental radiation. If the incident radiation is elliptically polarized, then the reflected second-harmonic wave is likewise elliptically polarized. However, the axes of the ellipse of the reflected second harmonic turn out to be rotated relative to the axes of the ellipse of the incident fundamental radiation. This rotation is caused by the presence of the component X222of the nonlinear susceptibility tensor of the third rank in (12).
K~
Assuming in (11) and (12) that X222---- 0 , We obtain the corresponding results for a crystal of class 32. In this case the reflected second harmonic is a plane wave
