Abstract
It is shown that under resonant interaction conditions certain notions in n onlinear optics which are based on the Manley-Rowe relations no longer hold because of the interference of elementary quantum-mechanical processes. Th is conclusion is illustrated by numerical examples corresponding to the exp eriments performed. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S0021-3640(99) 00512-5].
