fore, the ratio <strong>of</strong> these two quantities, equation (3.3) to equation (3.4), is an absolute<br />

measurement <strong>of</strong> the SHG signal from GaN referenced to the nonlinear response <strong>of</strong><br />

quartz <strong>and</strong> is totally free <strong>of</strong> systematic errors in the detection scheme or any characteristics<br />

or temporal fluctuations <strong>of</strong> the fundamental source. An additional benefit <strong>of</strong><br />

reporting our measurements in this manner is that an absolute value for the nonlinear<br />

susceptibility <strong>of</strong> GaN may be determined if the linear optical properties <strong>of</strong> Ga~ <strong>and</strong><br />

quartz are known.<br />
