Transformation of the input monochromatic radiation beam into a double frequency (half wavelength) beam.
Note:
Frequency doubling is a nonlinear optic effect typical of non-centrosymmetric crystals with a high second-order electric susceptibility. It is utilized in the laser and radio-communication techniques to obtain higher frequency signals, e.g., that of the wavelength 533 nm from the signal of 1066 nm.
