Abstract
The process of frequency conversion in regular domain structures is studied using the constant-intensity approximation. The investigations are carried out at values of complex amplitudes of the fundamental radiation and third harmonic at the output of each domain equal to the values of the corresponding complex amplitudes at the input of the subsequent domain. We show that the optimum length of each domain depends on the input pump intensity in the given domain. Thus, it is possible by choosing the optimum lengths of domains, phase mismatch, and pump intensity even at a low number of periods of nonlinear susceptibility modulation of the lattice to reach considerable values of conversion efficiency at the structure output in comparison with the traditional case of homogeneous nonlinear media.
