Abstract
Nonlinear surface waves at an interface between a linear medium and an other medium with quadratic nonlinearity are possible due to the pheno menon of nonlinearity-induced phase matching. The waves are numericall y calculated, along with their dispersion, stability, and comparison w ith their cubic counterparts. An extension to guided waves is also dis cussed.
