A method for measuring the spatial profiles of the second‐order non‐linear susceptibility χ (2) ( z ) in the bulk of periodically poled crystals and other structures was developed. The method is based on the general relation between the Fourier harmonics of χ (2) ( z ) and the parametric signal lineshape in the ω− k space which is governed by the dependence of the output signal intensity on the phase mismatch. The special cases of non‐linear interferometers, periodically poled crystals with stepwise or smoothed space χ (2) ( z ) profiles and Fibonacci‐type non‐linear superlattices were considered. Experimental schemes based on spontaneous parametric down‐conversion and the second harmonic generation were compared and discussed. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
