OK so i know it is possible to double the frequency of a light beam by using second harmonic generation by passing the beam through a non-linear crystal; however i am unclear as to the required intensity of light beam that is needed to achieve efficient conversation. Would it be possible to collect (a lot of) sunlight, pass it through a prism, then pass the resulting infra red light through a non-linear crystal to convert it to green light?
Also if possible: What would the required intensity be? and what would the efficiency of conversion be?
If possible please supply references
