A strong enhancement of the nonlinear response is found due to the essential role played by the electromagnetic density of modes and phase matching conditions. This open the door to a new generation of very compact nonlinear devices. The blue and green light emission conditions are discussed.9 pagesen-USThis item is likely protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
