Show affiliationsA treatment of nonlinear optical phenomena beginning with a microscopically correct Hamiltonian containing the Bose operators of the light field and the Fermi operators for the optically active electrons in the medium is presented. Using techniques recently developed, a nonperturbative solution to the Schrodinger equation is possible. No linearization or semiclassical approximations are introduced. Two photon emission and absorption including both the degenerate and nondegenerate cases are considered. Parametric amplification and frequency conversion are investigated as examples of multiphoton processes. Atomic cooperation is shown to enhance the above phenomena. A formal treatment of a model illustrating super and subradiance is included.
