Abstract :
Photonic crystals remain one of the most actively discussed topics of the modern optics. In particular, they are very promising for the control of such nonlinear-optical processes as harmonic generation and light self-action as well as for sensor applications. Thus, features of the phase matching effect on the nonlinear-optical process efficiency in the photonic crystals formed by birefringent layers should be studied in more detail. Thus, PS-based photonic crystals formed by birefringent layers allow control of the SH and TH generation efficiency by the light polarization and choice of the most effective geometry of the nonlinear-optical interaction.
