Abstract :
The efficiency of the yield of second harmonics in non-polar nondegenerate semiconductors is estimated. For n-Ge and n-Si an efficiency of about 5 percent is obtained for the optimum bias field, about V0/µ0. In this estimation a hyperbolic equation describing the nonlinear velocity-electric field relations is assumed.
