Most nonlinearities are weak, eg in glass the crystal structure symmetry cancels out the even orders, making the third order nonlinearity the first one observed. In a non-centrosymetric crystal the second order (quadratic term in the field) is non zero, which allows nonlinear effects to be stronger at weaker field strengths | |
