Abstract
A new method of measuring second-harmonic generation efficiency using powder crystals is demonstrated. The second-harmonic wave generated wi th the evanescent wave (SHEW) is phase-matched for every material. The efficiency of the second-harmonic generation can be estimated from th e SHEW power, regardless of the phase-matchability of the material in a bulk crystal, even when powder crystals are used as the sample.
