    Abstract

    We theoretically and numerically investigate the quadratic cascading effect of third-harmonic (TH) generation in a locally quasi-periodic nonlinear photonic structure. We study the effect of structure parameters on the acceptance bandwidth and conversion efficiency of the cascading process. We demonstrate that the conversion efficiency of the cascading process can be enhanced by using a longer locally quasi-periodic nonlinear photonic crystal, without adversely affecting the acceptance bandwidth of the emitted radiation.
