Abstract
We have studied the various nonlinear optical processes that can be described by a fourth-rank χ(3)-tensor: signals of frequency θ in degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM), harmonics of frequency 2θ and 3θ, and χ(3)-type difference-frequency generation (DFG) with observation of anti-Stokes emission of a signal of frequency 2θ1 — θ2. Structural information in terms of normalized anisotropies is derived in all frequency domains by analysis of the elements of the respective orientation-dependent susceptibility tensor. A novel laser-based technique for the remote orientation analysis of crystalline structures is introduced.
