(Prior Art) Recently, materials that generate light components other than the input light in response to human-powered light from outside the system, or so-called nonlinear optical materials, have attracted attention. This is light mixing that generates light whose frequency is the sum of two types of incident light with different frequencies, optical parametric where the incident light becomes two types of light with different frequencies, or secondary or tertiary of the incident light. This is because it plays an important role as an optical signal processing material by converting it into harmonics.
