“…4 In 1998, Berger extended the QPM theory from one dimension to two, proposing the concept of nonlinear photonic crystals. 5 The collinear and noncollinear reciprocal vectors in two-dimensional (2D) nonlinear photonic crystals lead to numerous interesting phenomena, such as nonlinear Talbot self-imaging, 6,7 generation of orbital angular momentum, 8,9 nonlinear generation and manipulation of airy beams, 10 efficient generation of cascaded third harmonic generation (THG), 11 nonlinear Bragg diffraction, 12,13 nonlinear Cherenkov emission, [14][15][16][17][18][19] and nonlinear Raman-Nath diffraction. 20 When an optical beam propagates in a nonlinear photonic crystal, light scattered by the domain walls and defects in the crystal could be involved in the nonlinear optical processes.…”
