Classical theory of sum-frequency generation by coherent nonlinear optical mixing of coherent and chaotic radiations I. Short-parameter solution

The nonlinear optical sum-frequency generation and the second harmonic generation with coherent and chaotic input radiations are treated in this paper. The short-time (-length) approximation method including the small parameter up to the eighth order is used. Effects of spectral widths of radiations as well as dispersion effects are neglected. Mean photon numbers, intermodal correlations and autocorrelations are calculated in the course of the nonlinear process. The obtained results are discussed from the point of view of the effect of intermodal correlations on nonlinear optical processes.
