✦ Synopsis

The extraordinary properties of second harmonic
generation in negative-index metamaterials, where the Poynting
vector and the wavevector have opposite directions are
investigated. The "backward" phase-matching condition results in
significant changes in the Manley-Rowe relations and in spatial
distributions of the field intensities of the coupled waves.
