Homework Statement



I need to solve the following wave equation:
[tex] [\nabla^2 + \frac{\omega_a^2}{c^2}\epsilon]\mathbf{E_a} = -\frac{4\pi\omega_a^2}{c^2}\mathbf{P}^{(3)}[/tex]

Homework Equations



[tex] \mathbf{P}^{(3)}=\chi^{(3)}:\mathbf{E_1E_1E_2^*}[/tex]

E_1 and E_2 are two electric fields with different frequencies.

The Attempt at a Solution



I'm not sure how to attempt the problem. A starting point would be good.
