Harmonic Generation and Wave Mixing in Confinement Structures: An Account of Pump Depletion in Second-Order Nonlinear Multilayer Microcavities

<table>Effect of high nonlinear layer's thickness on pump depletion, versus wavelength. Continuous (blue) curve: pump depletion neglected, dashed (red) curve: pump depletion taken into account.
