In equation (6.4), [i ono (Ii ura ) is the calculated SHC intensity from CaN using the<br />

monochromatic (ultrafast) theory <strong>and</strong> i labels the wavelength at which [i mono ([i ultra )<br />

is evaluated. For our 4.885 J-Lm CaN sample, (J = 0.35 over a fundamental wavelength<br />

range <strong>of</strong> 740 to 755 nm. The error between the monochromatic <strong>and</strong> ultrafast theories is<br />

especially large in this region due to the high dispersion <strong>of</strong> CaN at a second-harmonic<br />

wavelength <strong>of</strong> 370 to 378 nm. Second, the ultrafast analysis ensures compatibility <strong>of</strong><br />

the calculated SHC signal from CaN with the calculated SHC from quartz. ~ote that<br />

the following calculations assume that both the CaN film <strong>and</strong> sapphire substrate are<br />

perfectly cut. Experimentally, we suppressed the effect <strong>of</strong> the miscut by measuring<br />

our nonlinear spectra at a crystal orientation <strong>of</strong> ¢> = 90 0 •<br />

Fig. 6.4 displays the geometry <strong>of</strong> our SHC from GaN/Al 2 0 3 at a non-normal<br />

angle <strong>of</strong> incidence. The fundamental light with angular frequency ;..) propagates to<br />

the air/CaN interface <strong>and</strong> generates a reflected second-harmonic free wave (E frO).<br />

a second-harmonic bound wave that propagates through the CaN film (Ebd. <strong>and</strong> a<br />

second-harmonic free wave that propagates through the CaN film (Efl). The bound<br />

<strong>and</strong> free nonlinear fields propagate to the CaN/ Al 2 0 3 interface where they generate<br />

a free wave reflected from the CaN/ Ah03 interface (E flr) <strong>and</strong> a free wave that is<br />

transmitted into the sapphire (E f2 ). Table 6.3 summarizes the conventions for the<br />
