We propose a computational technique to evaluate the reflectivity and the transmission of the harmonics generated by a planar‐stratified material containing nonlinear layers. Maxwell's equations are solved and the scattering boundary conditions are implemented using a transfer matrix technique. As our goal beyond this study is to model sum‐frequency generation spectra, our approach is limited to second‐order processes. The great advantage of this algorithm is that owing to a self‐consistent procedure the nonlinear scattering problem is reduced to the repeated solving of linear equations. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
