Manley-Rowe 1956: photon-flux conservation in 3-wave mixing ω_1 + ω_2 = ω_3

Layer 1 — Physicsin the nonlinear-photonics subtree

Manley-Rowe relations (1956, Proc IRE 44:904): in a lossless χ^(2) 3-wave mixing process ω_1 + ω_2 = ω_3 (sum-frequency generation if 3 is the output, or difference / parametric amplification if 3 is the pump), the photon fluxes Φ_k =…
