Abstract :
The possibility of inducing sufficient birefringence in acentric cubic crystals to permit the phase matching of nonlinear infrared mixing is examined. It is shown that the electrooptic effect is inadequate for this, while phase matching by uniaxial stress is unlikely but cannot be ruled out.
